Three months. One starter group. One well-founded decision.
Your starter group develops selected soft and hard skills directly in real work tasks. At the same time, your people development team builds the competency to plan and implement this learning concept on its own after the starter offer.
8 to 20 participants · 12 weeks · supported by Prof. Dr. Werner Sauter

Not a test account, but a real learning initiative
The starter offer is deliberately kept simple: one duration, one scope of services, one price. The focus is on the targeted development of competencies and hard skills through dialogic learning with the AI.
Platform
Set up and ready to use
ValCom Diagnostics, ValCom Learning and released ValCom Studio functions – configured for your target group.
Support
Human, around the clock
Personalized learning paths, practical projects, VIA as a Socratic learning partner and coaching by Prof. Dr. Werner Sauter over three months.
Lasting value
Two certified skills managers
Competency development for designing future learning, for up to two people from your people development team – plus a concrete, well-founded roll-out recommendation.

Who the starter offer is designed for
8 to 20 participants
from one defined area.
Twelve weeks
with an experience-based decision on a possible roll-out at the end.
One to two employees from people development
learn along as active participants with their own education project, take on the role of skills manager, and receive a certificate as certified skills managers.
One competency field
defined and function-related – or concrete business challenges with direct practical relevance.
Optional: Integration of our Leadership or Management distance-learning course. If you would like to include a different target group than your managers, that is possible – your own content processing then takes its place.
A fixed frame, free sprints
The starter offer has a fixed frame: intake – kick-off – reviews every two weeks – completion after twelve weeks. The weekly learning sprints are planned dynamically according to agile principles. Each sprint ends when the goals are reached. The learning frame enables self-organized learning, it does not schedule the learning.
After commissioning
An onboarding meeting with HR and the project leads, before the kick-off. We look together at what you bring: your own competency model, your own documents, learning content from an existing platform. The result is a confirmed scope – with any additional effort quantified, should it arise.
Preparation
Define goals, starter group, roles and content. Configure the learning environment, onboard the participants, set up and run ValCom Diagnostics.
Week 1
Kick-off: get to know the learning group and learning concept, form learning tandems, learning groups and communities, agree on project journals. Everyone plans their own dynamic learning path and agrees it bindingly with their manager and their learning partner.
Weeks 2 to 11
Learning in self-organized sprints as part of their own practical projects. VIA is available around the clock as a Socratic planning and learning partner, complementing human learning support. The plan is dynamically adjusted in weekly reviews, flanked by tandems, learning groups and community, reflections, comprehension checks and scenario training.
Week 12
Final diagnostics. Presentation and discussion of the practical project results with managers, evaluation of performance and acceptance, recommendation and decision basis for the roll-out.
