Live workshops
Extend Live Workshops with AI Coaching and Practice
A successful workshop can create energy, insight and commitment. The challenge is helping participants retain the learning and apply it after the session.
Facilitators cannot provide every participant with individual support between modules or once the programme has ended. Savaia extends the learning experience through personalised AI coaching, assessment and realistic workplace practice.
Participants can reflect, ask questions, practise new skills and receive feedback in their own time. Facilitators and sponsors gain insights into capability development and progress.
Savaia complements the live experience. It does not replace it.
Pre-assessmentCoachingPost-assessment
Step 1
Pre-assessment
You find who needs what. Scores, gaps, next steps. One person or a whole cohort.
Step 2
Coaching
They practise in private. A coach in their language, their situations. You do not get the session.
Step 3
Post-assessment
Same instrument. Same people. Then you can show what moved.
Support learning before, during and after the workshop
Knowing
The model
Workshops and content build understanding. People leave knowing what good looks like.
Doing
The conversation
Capability is shown in the live moment: the interview, the feedback, the customer, the change.
Savaia can be integrated at different stages of a learning programme:
BeforeDuringBetweenAfterLater
Before the workshop
Establish a baseline, introduce key concepts and help participants prepare
During the programme
Reinforce learning, answer questions and provide individual practice
Between modules
Maintain momentum and help participants apply what they have learned
After the workshop
Support reflection, workplace application and continued development
Later
Reassess capability and provide evidence of progress
The experience can be designed around a single workshop, a multi-day programme or a longer development journey. Organisations can use the complete journey or select the elements that best support the programme.
Personalised support at scale
In a live workshop, the facilitator must divide their attention across the whole group. Some participants will speak frequently, while others may be less comfortable asking questions or practising in front of colleagues.
A programme-specific AI coach gives every participant access to personalised support.
They can use it to:
- Review and explore important concepts
- Ask questions they did not raise during the workshop
- Reflect on their strengths and development needs
- Consider how the learning applies to their role
- Prepare for workplace situations
- Create practical development actions
- Continue learning after the formal programme ends
The coach is available when the participant needs it and provides a private environment for reflection and development.
Designed around your programme
Your organisation
Your language
Competency frameworks, learning objectives, values, policies, roles and terminology.
Savaia experiences
Your people
Coaching, assessment, practice and reports that use your language and measure the capabilities that matter.
The AI coach is not a generic learning assistant. It can be customised around the content and purpose of the live programme.
This may include:
- The facilitator’s learning models
- Programme terminology
- Defined competencies
- Case studies and scenarios
- Organisational values
- Policies and processes
- Industry or role context
- Workplace application activities
This creates a consistent connection between the live experience and the participant’s continued development.
The facilitator’s intellectual property remains central to the learning journey. Savaia helps participants engage with and apply it more fully.
Realistic workplace practice
Understanding a model is different from using it effectively.
Savaia’s AI role-play experiences allow participants to practise workplace conversations related to the programme. The AI takes the role of another person and responds to the participant in real time.
Depending on the programme, participants might practise:
- Giving feedback
- Coaching a team member
- Delegating an assignment
- Managing a difficult conversation
- Interviewing a candidate
- Responding to a customer concern
- Influencing a stakeholder
- Communicating organisational change
The experience can be scored against clearly defined behaviours. Participants receive focused feedback and can repeat the practice to try a different approach.
This gives people more opportunities to build confidence and capability without requiring additional facilitator-led sessions.
Assessment before development
Knowledge Assessor
What they know
Explores understanding through questions and responses: how someone explains and applies what they have learned.
Capability Assessor
What they can do
Gives people a chance to demonstrate practical skills through a workplace simulation or realistic conversation.
An AI-powered assessment can be used before the programme to understand participants’ current capabilities.
The assessment can be aligned with the programme’s intended outcomes and provide:
- An individual starting point
- Insight into existing strengths
- Clear development priorities
- A team or cohort capability view
- Evidence to help shape the programme
Participants arrive with a better understanding of what they need to develop. Facilitators can use appropriate group-level insights to place greater emphasis on areas where the cohort needs support.
Assessment is optional. It can be used as part of a complete journey or introduced where it adds the most value.
Reassessment and evidence of progress
First assessment
Where they start
A detailed view of knowledge or capability before coaching, practice or workplace experience.
Reassessment
What has changed
A second view against the same competencies: what improved, what still needs work, and what to focus on next.
Participants can complete a reassessment after they have had time to learn and practise.
The assessment and reassessment results can show:
- Changes in individual capability
- Areas of improvement
- Capabilities requiring further development
- Patterns across a team or cohort
- Priorities for future learning support
This provides more meaningful evidence than attendance records or participant satisfaction alone.
Where the aim is specifically to measure knowledge gained through training, Savaia’s pre/post assessor can ask participants a short series of knowledge-based questions before and after the programme.
These are two different approaches:
- Assessment and reassessment examine a defined skill or capability in greater depth.
- Pre/post assessment measures changes in knowledge associated with a learning programme.
The appropriate approach depends on what the organisation wants to understand.
Useful insights for facilitators
Team report
The group pattern
Average scores, shared strengths and common development gaps that help you decide where support will make the greatest difference.
Individual results
Different needs
People in the same group can need different next steps. Avoid giving everyone the same development experience.
Savaia can provide group-level insights that help facilitators understand how participants are progressing.
For example, a facilitator may be able to see:
- Common strengths across the cohort
- Recurring development needs
- Concepts requiring further reinforcement
- Areas where understanding and application differ
- Changes following coaching and practice
These insights can help the facilitator refine later sessions, offer more focused support and continuously improve the programme.
Reporting and access can be configured appropriately, with clear expectations about what participants, facilitators and organisational sponsors will see.
The facilitator remains essential
Complements, does not replace
Savaia sits alongside the human learning environment
- Facilitators
- Line managers
- Your LMS
- Learning content
Savaia does not replace the expertise, judgement or human connection of a skilled facilitator.
Live learning provides experiences technology cannot reproduce fully:
- Group discussion
- Peer learning
- Facilitator observation
- Shared reflection
- Collective energy
- Relationship building
- Immediate human judgement
Savaia adds personalised development around that experience. It allows the learning to continue when the facilitator is not present and gives participants further opportunities to reflect and practise.
Supporting participant engagement
AI coaching and practice should be introduced as part of the learning journey, rather than added as an unrelated optional resource.
Engagement is more likely when participants understand:
- Why they are being asked to use it
- How it connects to the workshop
- What they will gain from the experience
- How much time they should allow
- Whether their results are private
- How the learning will be revisited later
The facilitator can demonstrate the experience during the workshop and explain how it will support the participant’s development.
Later sessions can then draw on common themes and learning from the experience without exposing individual conversations.
For internal learning teams
Internal L&D teams can integrate Savaia into existing leadership, management, professional and functional development programmes.
Savaia can work alongside the organisation’s:
- Learning management system
- Facilitator-led workshops
- Virtual learning
- Coaching programmes
- Competency frameworks
- Talent and career initiatives
The organisation can begin with one programme and expand over time as it identifies further opportunities.
