Established global consultancy moves leadership development from event to ongoing practice, a category shift now reflected in CTG’s offering worldwide
Romania, 15th May 2026 – The CTG Group, a global leadership and coaching consultancy serving enterprise clients across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas, has signed a reseller partnership with Blue Horizon Training to embed LeaderCoreAI, an AI leadership training platform, across its executive development programmes worldwide.
The partnership addresses what HR and L&D leaders increasingly call the post-workshop reinforcement gap: most executive development programmes leave participants weeks or months between facilitated sessions, with no rigorous way to rehearse the conversations they are meant to be mastering. CTG and Blue Horizon Training are now bringing the solution to CTG’s customers formally.
“What happens between sessions matters as much as what happens in the room,” said Brad Solomon, CEO of The CTG Group. “Our role has always been to build leadership capability that actually shows up in the business, not just in the workshop. AI-powered practice between sessions is now part of how that capability gets built.”
The Practice Gap in Executive Development
Decades of L&D research converge on the same point: leadership behavior develops through repetition under realistic pressure, not through exposure to insight alone. Yet most executive programmes, even those running over six to twelve months, invest the entire learning budget in facilitated time and leave the rehearsal gap unaddressed.
LeaderCoreAI provides AI-powered simulations in which managers practice high-stakes interactions (performance conversations, conflict resolution, strategic alignment, delegation, influence without authority, etc.) against realistic AI counterparts that adapt to the user’s leadership approach. Participants receive immediate, objective feedback after each session. HR and L&D leaders gain cohort-level visibility into how skills develop across the programme lifecycle.
For CTG, the partnership answers a question every HR Director has been asking: what happens to all that investment after the facilitator leaves the room?
Validated in the Field with a Global Aerospace and Defence Leader
The partnership rests on operational evidence rather than only theory. CTG has already deployed the integrated model with a global aerospace and defence leader, where LeaderCoreAI was embedded into the client’s executive development programme as a structured practice layer between facilitated sessions.
Across that deployment, participating leaders returned to the platform voluntarily between formal milestones. That is the kind of sustained engagement most executive programmes struggle to achieve once the facilitator leaves the room.
What the Partnership Delivers to CTG Clients
For the HR and L&D leaders engaging CTG for enterprise programmes, the partnership reshapes what a leadership development engagement now includes:
- A leadership programme architecture rarely found in the consultancy market: facilitated sessions paired with AI-powered practice infrastructure between milestones, designed around taming the forgetting curve and the practice gap
- Sustained practice between formal milestones: 24/7 access on any browser or mobile device, available in 43 languages across CTG’s global footprint, with no specialist hardware required
- Cohort-level analytics for L&D teams: data-driven visibility into capability development across the programme, addressing the measurement gap that L&D functions are increasingly asked to close
- A practice library spanning simulations for first-time manager challenges through senior executive decision-making: with the option to build private scenarios tailored to the conversations leaders are actually facing in the business
“CTG has spent years setting a high bar for what executive development should feel like: relationship-led, business-grounded, highly effective,” said Frank Basinski, Founder of Blue Horizon Training and LeaderCoreAI. “Our job is straightforward: helping our partners cement the insights that fail under pressure into skills that are available when it matters. The partnership now puts that capability in front of leaders at CTG clients globally.”
The combined offering is available immediately to new and existing CTG clients.
