SPO AI Program

Roche SPO AI Program — Catalysts & Incubator

Roche SPO · AI Program

The SPO AI Program helps teams across Strategy & Portfolio work smarter with AI. We bring together two complementary streams — the Catalyst network and the Incubator — to support adoption at every scale, from everyday productivity to larger strategic initiatives.


The Catalyst Network

AI Catalysts are embedded across SPO chapters. They help their teams adopt AI tools, build skills, and connect to the right resources — making AI a normal part of how SPO works day to day.

What Catalysts do:

  • Support colleagues in using AI tools effectively
  • Share knowledge and best practices across chapters
  • Identify opportunities where AI can create real productivity gains
  • Connect teams to the wider SPO AI Program

The Incubator

The Incubator takes on larger, more complex AI initiatives that need dedicated time and cross-functional collaboration. It provides structured support to take projects from idea to delivery, with outputs shared across the organisation.

What the Incubator does:

  • Incubates strategic AI projects with real SPO impact
  • Provides dedicated Catalyst support and tooling access
  • Delivers time-boxed projects with clear scope and outcomes
  • Builds reusable assets and guides for the wider programme
