Skip to content Your people are trained. The feedback is good. Then the year happens — and you cannot show your leadership what actually changed.
MCE Learning Companions give your managers an AI mentor built on MCE’s own programme content, and give you a number at the end of it. Every practice session is scored, so a programme produces evidence instead of opinions.
Every lesson, answer and role-play comes from MCE’s own programme content — 100 years of management expertise, written and taught by MCE faculty. Not a general-purpose AI with a logo on it.
Your people learn a concept, then practise it out loud with a video avatar that answers back and does not make it easy. Each session is scored against the competences that matter in their role.
The same scenario, scored at the start and again at the end. The difference is the evidence — at individual level for the manager, and at cohort level for you.
STEP 01
Everyone runs the same scenario first, scored against the competences that matter.
STEP 02
Repeated rehearsal with an avatar that reacts, with feedback each time.
STEP 03
The same scenario, later. The difference is the evidence.
STEP 04
A cohort view of what moved and what did not, written for a board.
18 high potentials · five Companions each · one year
What they want. To grow a group of new managers into the mid-level leaders the business will need next — within a year, and without taking any of them out of the business for a week.
How it is set up. Five Companions were chosen to cover what that step actually demands. Everyone is scored in the first week, so the starting point is measured rather than assumed, and a target is agreed with the L&D team for each competence.
What comes back. The same scenarios at the end of the year, and a report showing how close the group came to the targets — competence by competence.
Illustrative example. Baselines are measured in the first week; targets are set with the client.
Most organizations prove it on one team before widening it. It is the least expensive way to find out whether this belongs in your development plan.
STEP 01
One team, and the three or four competences that matter most in their role.
STEP 02
Everyone runs the same scenario before anything begins. Half an hour each.
STEP 03
Across the year, in their own language, whenever the work gives them a reason to.
STEP 04
The same scenario again, and a cohort report you can take to your sponsor.
With an open programme
Seats for the cohort you have just sent, extending an investment you have already made.

Course libraries are watched. A Companion is practised: your people do it, out loud, and are scored on it. It sits on top of what you already have and attaches to the programmes you already run.
It is used when there is something to use it for — before a difficult conversation, between modules, ahead of a presentation that matters. In 11 languages, on any device, at any hour.
Choosing the group and the competences, and a baseline session of about half an hour per person. After that it runs itself until the re-measure.
No. A browser is enough — no IT project, no rollout, no licences to manage on your side.
Your data is hosted with our provider in Belgium; AI features send content to trusted third-party services only to generate a response in real time, and it is not used to train their models.
Priced by cohort size and by the number of competences measured. Tell us the group and we will price it.
