Decidr & Growth Faculty unveil AI Mentor for business leaders
Decidr has partnered with Growth Faculty to launch an artificial intelligence mentor platform aimed at business leaders.
The AI Mentor platform, developed by Decidr and Growth Faculty, offers users 24/7 access to advice from renowned leadership speakers through AI-driven digital mentors. This platform uses Decidr's multi-agent decision engine and is designed to deliver contextual, speaker-specific guidance tailored to the needs of business leaders.
At launch, AI Mentor features digital replicas of global advisors, including Kevin Lawrence, John Spence, Mark Green and Andrea Clarke, with plans to expand its mentor network in the coming months. Each digital mentor is created in partnership with the original speaker. The platform leverages published material, event content, and the unique personal styles of each mentor to mirror their frameworks, tone and areas of expertise.
According to Karen Beattie, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Growth Faculty, the project aligns with the organisation's broader mission. Beattie stated, "Our goal has always been to connect leaders with the world's brightest minds and thinkers in business. AI Mentor lets us scale that vision in a completely new way. With Decidr, we've built something that takes the authentic tone and wisdom of our speakers, and makes them available to every leader, anytime, anywhere."
The AI Mentor platform offers users instant, on-demand access to business leadership advice, even in scenarios where attending live events is not feasible or guidance is needed at short notice. For speakers, it represents a new method of ongoing audience engagement and an additional avenue for building residual income between events.
David Brudenell, Executive Director of Decidr, highlighted the potential implications for the corporate learning sector. He said, "This is agentic AI at its best: connecting the right insight to the right person at the right moment. We are step-by-step changing the landscape for corporate learning, development and procurement, from our work with CareerOne, Go1, ELMO and now The Growth Faculty, who have understood the enormous opportunity from day one."
Development of the platform began in late 2024, and both companies have indicated that additional features, integrations, and mentors will be introduced throughout 2025. The platform is already operational and available to users.
One of the digital mentors at launch is Kevin Lawrence, an author and executive advisor. Lawrence said, "I've spent decades helping leaders stay grounded and grow stronger. The AI Mentor lets me scale that support. Every question helps someone move forward, and now those answers can happen instantly – at 10 pm, mid-meeting, or halfway through a bad day."
The initiative is designed not just to enhance accessibility but also to add value throughout Growth Faculty's leadership learning programmes. It forms part of a broader effort by Growth Faculty to connect high-performing leaders and teams with established frameworks and inspirational thinkers, through a variety of live, virtual and interactive events.
