Who We Are
Abilitie has reimagined business education by creating hands-on leadership development programs, including The 12-Week MBA, for rising leaders and executives around the world. With 500+ global clients – including Coca-Cola, Marriott, and Southwest Airlines – and 100,000+ learners, Abilitie is a rapidly growing innovator in the leadership development and edtech markets.
Our History
For the last two decades, Abilitie has been at the forefront of delivering leadership development programs for some of the world’s largest and most esteemed companies. Our roots trace back to Enspire Learning, established in 2001 by our CEO, Bjorn Billhardt. Throughout our history, we’ve worked with companies making significant investments in the identification, development, and retention of individuals possessing strong business and leadership skills. As a result, we designed a portfolio of simulations and programs to match what these companies seek in their emerging and senior leaders
Business simulations are the foundation for what we do at Abilitie. These dynamic online competitions create a real-world environment for learners to practice their skills while learning from their mistakes and successes. Check out our most popular simulation, Management Challenge, now featuring AI-enabled conversations.
Global Reach
Abilitie serves individuals and organizations of all sizes across a broad range of industries. We’ve deployed our leadership programs across more than 50 countries.
