A lot has changedSee what Principal Financial'sprogram can do now
With Beam Benefits joining the portfolio and digital services expanding across retirement, benefits, and custody channels, your experimentation capability needs to move as fast as your roadmap. Sixty minutes to score your program and scope the agents worth building first.
50+ programs benchmarked - Free - No pitch
A plan, not a pep talk.
This 60-minute session is built around Principal Financial's specific experimentation reality — participant enrollment, digital servicing, and advisor channel engagement — not a generic AI playbook. We use the same diagnostic process we've run with the largest experimentation programs in financial services.
Your financial services maturity score
We score Principal Financial's program across five dimensions — AI awareness, executive buy-in, tool adoption, process integration, and agent deployment readiness. You see exactly where you sit against the top financial services experimentation teams, with a gap analysis showing what it takes to move to the next stage.
Mapping your highest-impact flows
We dig into Principal Financial's actual digital journeys — participant enrollment and onboarding, policyholder self-service, and advisor portal engagement. Where does time go? Where are manual steps blocking test velocity? We map every stage and find where AI delivers a measurable difference specific to how your team works.
Your three highest-value agents, scoped
Every opportunity is scored by impact and effort. For Principal Financial, that means ranking agents across enrollment conversion, digital servicing deflection, and advisor channel activation — so you leave with the three that move the needle fastest, each with a breakdown covering what it does, what it replaces, and the time it saves.
Your personalized build plan
Once you know what to build, we tell you how to build it. Your plan is designed to fit Principal Financial's team and existing stack — no new headcount required — plus priority access to Opal University to start building with expert guidance and community support.
Your session host
You're in good hands
I'm Darcey Lachtman, and I'll be leading your AI fitness workshop.
I've spent a decade in experimentation—starting at Optimizely in 2016, then refining my skills at LaunchDarkly and Eppo, before returning to Optimizely as Solution Strategy Director. I'm Optimizely's expert on agentic experimentation, and I'll show you exactly where AI agents fit into your program.
Wherever you're starting, there's a seat here for you.
What I care about: Making this genuinely useful, not impressive. You should walk away knowing exactly where AI fits your program, and confident enough to start building.
Used by the biggest experimentation programs in the world.
We mapped our standard experimentation workflow, identified where Optimizely's AI agents plug into current gaps, and scoped out what we could build custom. The sky's the limit.
Brandon Brackett
Head of Growth Experimentation, Salesforce
We went through our entire experimentation process end to end, mapped where AI agents could fit in, and came out with a clear picture of what to build next.
