AN EXAMPLE, FROM PRACTICE TO PROGRESS

See how a real work situation becomes a progression journey.

Follow a concrete example: an urgent customer complaint, an AI simulation, an assessment based on observed evidence, then targeted practice before a new attempt.

Illustrative example

01 / 05 · PREPARE

A real situation to handle.

Starting situationProfessional insurance

Handle an urgent customer complaint

Marc Dubois, the owner of an SME, is stuck at a trade show: his professional liability insurance certificate is unavailable because his file is incomplete. He calls under pressure and expects an immediate solution.

YOUR MISSION

Defuse the tension, clarify what is blocking the situation, and propose a concrete next step while following the rules.

YOUR COUNTERPART

Marc Dubois

Business owner · In a hurry · Demanding

Expectation: a clearly identified contact and a clear timeline.

02 / 05 · PRACTICE

Handle the situation.

The employee interacts with an AI counterpart configured around the context, objectives, and expected behaviors for the simulation.

Marc is speaking

VOICE CONVERSATION EXCERPT

  1. MARC
    “I’m completely stuck! I need a solution right now.”
  2. EMPLOYEE
    “I understand your concern. Let’s go through the situation together to identify what is blocking it and see what we can do.”
  3. MARC
    “All right, but what I really need to know is who will handle it and when.”

The AI counterpart responds to how the conversation unfolds and to the context defined for the simulation.

Business contextAI personaPractice objectives
03 / 05 · UNDERSTAND

Understand what was demonstrated.

After the simulation, MaiaCoach analyzes observed behaviors against the criteria defined for the practice session to identify strengths and areas that need more work.

Clarify75

STRENGTH

The customer’s tension is acknowledged and the conversation begins with an attentive, listening posture.

OBSERVED GAP

The proposed next step remains too vague to give the customer enough clarity.

OBSERVED EVIDENCE
“We’ll handle this quickly.”

Excerpt from the conversation used to explain the analysis.

  1. EXPECTED

    Give the customer a clear action, an owner, and a specific timeline.

  2. OBSERVED
    “We’ll handle this quickly.”
  3. EXPLANATION

    The response is reassuring but does not specify who will take action or when the customer will be contacted again.

  4. PRIORITY

    Structure a clear, verifiable follow-up commitment.

A score only has value if it can be explained.

Data shown for illustrative purposes to explain how the assessment works.

From analysis to targeted practice

04 / 05 · PRACTICE AGAIN

Turn the gap into targeted practice.

The identified difficulties guide what comes next. MaiaCoach proposes a targeted exercise to work on the priority behavior before returning to the full situation.

IDENTIFIED PRIORITY

Structure a clear, verifiable follow-up commitment.

  1. IDENTIFIED GAP

    Proposed follow-up is too vague

  2. BEHAVIOR TO STRENGTHEN

    Give a clear action, an owner, and a specific timeline

    Relevant ACOR step: Resolve
  3. TARGETED EXERCISE

    Marc asks:

    “Who will keep me updated, and when?”

    Objective: formulate a response that

    • states the planned action
    • identifies the owner
    • sets a specific timeline
    • checks the customer’s agreement

The employee works specifically on the observed difficulty before replaying a full situation.

05 / 05 · PROGRESS

Replay. Measure. Verify.

A new attempt makes it possible to observe whether the practiced behavior is applied more effectively in the situation.

BEFORE
“We’ll handle this quickly.”
AFTER
“I’ll email you a summary of the documents and call you back at 9:15 to review the situation.”

The progress shown in this example is illustrative. A new situation could then be used to observe whether the behavior remains consistent across other practice contexts.
