What we do

We help leaders develop the skills their work requires, across their working life.

Everyone leads at some point: a team, a project, a family, or most important, ourselves. Leading requires each of us to develop skills to keep pace with the demands of working life. Our work (and life) provides the curriculum and context to develop. The Adeptify platform was built to support this.

At the heart of it is the Leader Development Center. Our other offerings can run inside it or stand on their own, so there are many options to suit your needs.

The Leader Development Center

Piloting now

The Center is a place where a leader's development is supported over time, with a mentor, rather than left to a weekend workshop or good intentions. It brings together our Leadership Skills Assessment, conversations with a development mentor about what it shows, and learning loops in which a leader practices the skills they need in the context of their own work.

1. Intake

Your role's demands outlined, then a spoken interview with an AI interviewer.
2. Assessment

The interview is analyzed for the quality and complexity of thinking and several skill domains, then shaped into a layered report.
3. Exploration

Debriefing with a development mentor. You choose skills to work on.
4. Skill development

Learning loops, drawing on our skill library, deployed in your own work.

Other ways in

Each is an offering in its own right, and each can also run inside the Center.

Leadership Skills Assessment Version 1

An interview of about an hour, in which an AI interviewer, working from carefully designed instructions, asks several questions about your work. Then the transcript is analyzed for the quality and complexity of thinking and how it is applied in a set of skill domains. You receive a layered report, read and reflect on it, and then explore it with a development mentor; customized learning loops for developing skills can follow.

Version one has been tested by several participants.

Debriefing Live

Conversations between you and your development mentor, in person or by video, about the feedback the assessment provides. You first read the report on the platform and write reflections, which the mentor reads to prepare. The debrief conversations examine the report's feedback in light of your experience, testing hypotheses rather than presenting a verdict. The assessment is to serve your development and it ends with choosing specific skills to work on.

Candidate suitability support Piloting now

This offering provides support for an organization choosing among candidates for a role. The expectations of the role are worked out with the organization and shape a spoken interview with an AI interviewer, working from instructions written for the role. Afterwards, the interview is analyzed by using specific rubrics designed to identify the candidate's relevant experience in relation to each area of the role. As well, the transcript is analyzed for skills and for the complexity of their thinking. This is then brought together in a report on each candidate, including questions for the personal follow-up interview. The report is input for the organization's decision, not a recommendation.

We are piloting it now with initial clients.

Skill library In development

A map of the skills leaders need, from broad domains down to what a leader can practice in the moment. There are several ways in: feedback from the Leadership Skills Assessment and debrief might point to places in it. The skill library portal will also let people start exploring from an emerging or identified need. The skills on the map inform the design of learning loops.

We are building it as one cross-linked map connected to the design of learning loops.
