Workplace Skills helps L&D teams build durable skills and see how they develop over time. Each journey connects a performance-based starting point, focused learning, realistic practice, and reassessment.
Launching with complete journeys in Communication and Creative Thinking.
Most organizations can see who participated, what people completed, and how learners rated the experience.
What is harder to see is whether people are actually getting better and what to do next.
The gap is not more content. It is clearer evidence of whether development is building capability.
Workplace Skills launches with Communication and Creative Thinking, two durable skills that shape how people work, lead, solve problems, and adapt.
Each journey connects assessment and development through the same Practice + Proof approach.
Communicate clearly when the moment matters.
Build the ability to listen, adapt, explain, influence, and respond effectively in real workplace situations.
Where It Shows Up:
Giving feedback · Difficult conversations · Stakeholder influence · Cross-functional work · Customer conversations · Communicating through change
Find better ways forward when the usual approach isn't enough.
Build the ability to generate and refine useful ideas, challenge default approaches, explore multiple possibilities, and adapt solutions within real-world constraints.
Where It Shows Up:
Reframing problems · Generating multiple options · Challenging default approaches · Improving ideas through feedback · Adapting within constraints · Experimenting and iterating
One approach across both journeys:
Understand → Focus → Practice + Apply → Reassess → Act
Both journeys use the Practice + Proof approach to connect development with stronger evidence of change over time.

Define what capability looks like before designing the path to it.
Formative signals tell you where growth is stalling — before it's too late to adjust.
The productive learning zone is between too easy and too hard. Most programs miss it entirely.
Exposure doesn't build skill. Structured, repeatable practice does.
Psychological safety and protected time aren't soft features — they're structural requirements.
People develop faster when they can see their own progress and adjust their approach.
Macmillan Learning brings decades of learning science and development design. Ignis AI brings performance-based assessment science.
Ignis AI uses realistic, multi-turn workplace situations to gather evidence from how someone responds and adapts—not only from what they say about themselves.
Workplace Skills connects the two across one development journey: understand the starting point, focus the learning, practice and apply the skill, reassess, and decide what to do next.
At the end of a journey, organizations receive a Growth Summary that brings together evidence from the starting point and reassessment, participation, and cohort patterns.
The Growth Report helps teams see:
The result is a clearer picture of capability growth and a stronger foundation for deciding what to strengthen, expand, or prioritize next.
