Mindtools, a global provider of management and leadership skills development solutions, has launched the Manager Skill Builder (MSB), an adaptive learning solution designed to close essential skill gaps and enhance leadership capabilities across organisations.
Shabnam Shahani, CEO of Mindtools, said: “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. The Manager Skill Builder addresses this gap by providing accelerated, personalised, adaptive learning that meets managers where they are in their skills proficiency, remediates capability gaps and ensures they reach their full potential.”
The Manager Skill Builder builds on the success of Mindtools’ Manager Skills Assessment (MSA) and uses intelligent algorithms to deliver targeted content tailored to each manager’s needs. It offers a range of features, including adaptive learning pathways, targeted courses covering 12 essential management skills, and interactive tools such as quizzes and an AI coach.
Ross Garner, head of custom and insights at Mindtools, said: “The Manager Skill Builder stands apart by delivering personalised and accelerated management development journeys. By harnessing an adaptive algorithm, it ensures every manager gets the right content at the right time, whether they’re building foundational skills or refining advanced capabilities. It’s a gamechanger for organisations seeking practical, scalable and measurable management skills development solutions.”
