# Colgate-Palmolive

**Role: success case for [[action-empower-citizen-developers-d55]] against [[concept-ai-sabotage]].** Colgate-Palmolive mitigated employee resistance by launching an internal **AI Hub** — a no-code platform that empowered employees without coding experience to build their own AI assistants (creating thousands of them). This turned potential resisters into active participants, securing deep organizational buy-in. *(Enrichment: consistent with the broader 'citizen AI / citizen developer' trend; internal metrics cannot be externally validated.)*
