Problem
Only 7% of leaders effectively transfer new behavior from training to daily practice, according to McKinsey. Traditional leadership development programs fail because guidance is delivered away from the moment of need, leaving managers unprepared for critical conversations like performance reviews, job interviews, and 1:1s.
Solution
Asherpa is a Leadership Activation Engine that embeds coaching guidance directly into Microsoft Teams and Outlook, where managers already work. It takes a company's own leadership principles, values, and frameworks and activates them at the precise moment they are needed—whether preparing for a difficult performance review, a high-stakes interview, or a meaningful 1:1. Leaders never need to download an app, create an account, or change their workflow; the right preparation surfaces automatically inside their existing tools. This just-in-time support has been shown to drive meaningful improvement in targeted behavior when delivered at the right moment, per BCG's Behavioural Science Lab.
Target Audience
Primary customers are HR and learning & development leaders at organizations using Microsoft 365 who want to translate leadership training into daily managerial practice without adding new software or friction.
