Our personnel development software trains leadership skills through active practice rather than passive consumption of videos or texts. Traditional e-learning systems impart knowledge about leadership, but knowledge alone does not make a great leader. The key difference: In our conversation simulations, the AI responds to word choice, tone, and conversation structure. Leaders immediately experience how their behavior influences the dynamics of a conversation. A feedback discussion that starts with accusations leads to resistance, while the same conversation initiated with empathy opens up the employee. This experience cannot be replaced by multiple-choice tests or learning videos.

Leadership rarely fails due to a lack of knowledge; rather, it falters in the execution during conversations. A two-day seminar provides theory and methods, but the transfer to everyday work often falls short. The reason: weeks can pass between the seminar and the first real employee conversation. Without practice, what has been learned fades away. The personnel development software bridges this transfer gap. Leaders can practice a challenging conversation right before the actual meeting—in just 15 minutes between two meetings. This transforms theoretical knowledge into practical conversational confidence.

We simulate conversation dynamics, not individuals. This is an important distinction. Our AI characters are based on personality models and respond to leadership behaviors with typical patterns: resistance under pressure, openness with empathy, and uncertainty with unclear communication. The conversations last 10-25 minutes and do not follow a fixed script. The personnel development software tailors responses to the individual leadership style. The goal is not to perfectly simulate a real employee, but to create a safe space for genuine practice—allowing for mistakes that do not jeopardize relationships.

The personnel development software covers all essential leadership situations: criticism and feedback discussions, conflict mediation, annual and development conversations, delegation, motivation, and onboarding of new team members. There is a particular demand for scenarios that leaders are often reluctant to practice in front of colleagues, such as addressing performance issues or engaging in discussions with experienced, opinionated employees. Currently, over 50 scenarios are available, with continuous updates planned. Additionally, HR teams can create their own scenarios to reflect specific company contexts.

The HR dashboard of the personnel development software provides three levels of development data: Usage metrics reveal who trains and how often, as well as which scenarios are completed. Competency metrics capture communication behaviors such as listening, structure, and clarity, along with development trends over weeks and months. Skill gap analyses identify which leadership topics are challenging across the organization. All data can be exported as PDF or CSV, making personnel development measurable and enabling HR to demonstrate the value of training to management.

No. The personnel development software is designed for independent use. Leaders can start on their own, without training from instructors. The standard implementation takes 2-4 weeks: setting up SSO integration, onboarding a pilot group, collecting feedback, and rolling out company-wide. For simple setups without SSO, you can get started in 2-3 days. A dedicated account manager will guide the process and assist with custom scenarios. On the IT side, the software integrates with existing systems via SSO/SAML and automatically synchronizes user data with SAP, Workday, or Personio.

The personnel development software costs €480 per executive per year, offering unlimited access to all scenarios. In comparison, a two-day in-person seminar for 20 executives can quickly amount to €15,000-25,000, including trainer fees, venue costs, and lost productivity. For 50 executives, this totals over €100,000 annually. The software scales without additional costs: whether you have 10 pilot users or 1,000 executives, the price per person remains the same, with no setup fees or capacity limits. The integrated ROI calculator computes your specific business case based on turnover rates and HR efforts.

Yes, the personnel development software is fully GDPR-compliant. Servers and hosting are exclusively located in Germany and Europe. AI processing is conducted anonymously—personal data is not shared with LLM providers. A data processing agreement is included. The platform is already utilized in compliance-sensitive industries such as banking, healthcare, and public administration. Leaders can also train in confidential conversation scenarios without any content leaving the system.

Yes. In the personnel development software, you can upload your own leadership guidelines, communication standards, and company values. The scenario builder generates custom training programs that reflect your culture. Additionally, you can create AI characters that correspond to typical employee profiles within your organization. This allows leaders to train on the specific situations they encounter daily—not generic textbook cases. These customizations are included in the Enterprise package and are supported by the Account Manager.

Most executives appreciate the secure environment provided by the personnel development software. In traditional workshops, the barrier to practicing and making mistakes in front of colleagues is high. AI role-playing eliminates this social dynamic, allowing leaders to repeat, pause, or restart conversations without judgment from others. This significantly increases the frequency of practice. Experienced leaders often use the platform to prepare for specific upcoming discussions, while younger leaders systematically build their conversational confidence. Acceptance grows when HR positions the software as a complement to existing programs rather than a replacement.

You will see usage data in the personnel development software immediately after the pilot group starts. Meaningful development trends emerge after 4-6 weeks of regular use, once there are enough data points for comparisons. Skill gap analyses at the team level become statistically reliable with 10-15 active users. For a solid before-and-after comparison, we recommend a review period of 3 months. During this time, leaders typically complete 8-12 scenarios and demonstrate measurable improvements in core competencies such as conversation structure and constructive feedback.
