Mindtools launches Manager Skill Builder: Transforming management development with adaptive learning
Mindtools, a global provider of management and leadership skills development solutions, announces the launch of its latest innovation, The Manager Skill Builder (MSB).
This cutting-edge, adaptive learning solution empowers managers by delivering personalized development pathways to close essential skill gaps and enhance leadership capabilities across organizations.
“Our research shows that 50% of managers receive no training when stepping into their first management role. Even those that do receive training often find it generic and misaligned with their needs,” says Shabnam Shahani, CEO of Mindtools. “The Manager Skill Builder addresses this gap by providing accelerated, personalized, adaptive learning that meets managers where they are in their skills proficiency, remediates capability gaps and ensures they reach their full potential.”
Revolutionizing management development
Building on the success of Mindtools Manager Skills Assessment (MSA), the Manager Skill Builder ensures a tailored, engaging and results-driven learning experience for managers at all levels.
The Manager Skill Builder transforms traditional learning methods by leveraging intelligent algorithms to adapt content to each manager’s unique needs. The result? Faster, more efficient skills development that drives measurable improvements in individual, team and organizational performance.
Key features of Manager Skill Builder include:
- Personalized learning journeys: Adaptive pathways ensure managers focus only on the skills they need for maximum efficiency
- Comprehensive skill coverage: Targeted courses across 12 essential management skills, aligned to our Manager Skills Framework, including communication, decision-making and coaching.
