Case Study: Morgan Stanley achieves 46% faster upskilling and a 56% skill increase with Pluralsight

How Morgan Stanley used Pluralsight to provide busy employees with flexible, customized upskilling and innovate at the pace of rapidly changing tech

Morgan Stanley, a global financial services firm, needed to accelerate tech innovation across AI, cybersecurity, and cloud but was constrained by the pace of change and busy employee schedules. Realizing a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn’t work, the firm sought a flexible, personalized upskilling strategy that could manage risk and align talent development to business goals.

Partnering with Pluralsight, Morgan Stanley implemented on‑demand learning, expert webinars, skill- and role-based assessments, advanced analytics, and campaign-style programs (Skills Hero, ElevateU) to boost engagement and track progress. The result was a 46% year-over-year reduction in days to upskill, a 56% increase in assessed skills, clearer visibility into skills gaps via integrated dashboards, and stronger alignment of learning with technology strategy.
