AI agent for training and development managers
Leadership Program Cohort Tracker Agent
Cohort participants stay on track and sponsors know when to step in.
What it does
In a leadership program of 24 people, a few fall behind by month three and the sponsors lose track of who needs help. This agent tracks cohort milestones, completions and sponsor meetings. It flags lagging participants and drafts nudges to the participant and the sponsor. It checks whether the nudge led to progress and escalates if not. It adjusts the tone of each nudge to how long the participant has been late, starting with a friendly reminder and moving to a direct request for the sponsor to step in. Each week it gives the manager a short list of who is on track, who is late and who has been escalated. Edge case: a participant on a major project is flagged but given an extension option. The manager approves messages.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
