Developed in partnership with Guru Now, experts in AI and avatar-led training, ELECTRIC Conversations addresses the critical need for effective communication in today's business environment. The programme empowers leaders and managers to drive change, enhance performance, and unlock the full potential of their teams.
The launch comes at a crucial time, as research from Harvard Business Review & Gartner highlights that only 47% of employees derive valuable outcomes from interactions with their managers and that managers in this situation are 2.7 times more likely to fail. ELECTRIC Conversations offer a solution to these challenges.
How Electric Conversations works
ELECTRIC Conversations combines expert-led coaching skills training with a cutting-edge AI-powered practice platform. Participants begin the programme with an interactive workshop and training session, followed by engaging in real-time, work-based scenarios with AI-powered avatars. This safe, risk-free environment allows for the practice and refinement of coaching conversations.
The AI provides immediate feedback and scoring, enabling participants to hone their skills through repeated practice, anytime, anywhere. This "practice makes perfect" approach is essential for learning transfer and sustained behaviour change.
"ELECTRIC Conversations is a game-changer," says Ed Parsloe, CEO, The OCM. "Traditional training often falls short in delivering lasting behaviour change. Our blended AI approach, built on our extensive coaching expertise, provides managers and leaders with access to high-quality, repeated conversation practice with avatars in realistic scenarios. This transforms everyday interactions and drives measurable performance improvements."
Key Benefits of ELECTRIC Conversations:
Using ELECTRIC Conversations, leaders and managers will:
- Master essential coaching skills, including active listening, asking insightful questions, delivering constructive feedback, managing performance, resolving conflict, and supporting career development.
- Learn to quickly integrate simple coaching methods into daily conversations, empowering employees to develop stronger thinking skills, demonstrate greater initiative, increase engagement, and reach their full potential.
"The biggest challenge of traditional training is transferring learning to the workplace and achieving sustained behaviour change," adds Parsloe. "ELECTRIC Conversations solves this. The AI avatars provide engaging, realistic scenarios that mirror real-life conversations, allowing for complex and nuanced practice. While AI enhances the learning experience, it doesn't replace the human element. Our programme complements traditional coaching, providing a powerful tool for personal and professional growth."
