Zensai Scale: Learning and performance platform for Microsoft 365
Stage 2 of 3 Scale
Scale connects learning to performance across the organization, so development drives results. It builds on Grow, where training and compliance become capability, and leads to Transform, where learning, performance, and engagement come together.
A learning and performance platform
built to develop people
Zensai Scale connects learning to every performance conversation, goal, and review, with agentic AI, inside Microsoft 365.
Leadership needs visibility they can trust
The performance rhythm that doesn't slip
Consistent employee development is hard to scale
Learning, performance, and goals often live in separate systems
Move from learning activity to workforce development

Learning and performance operate in silos
- Onboarding varies by location and manager
- Compliance requires constant follow-up
- Reporting is manual and fragmented
- Learning and workforce data live in separate systems
Develop people consistently at scale
- Consistent onboarding across the organization
- Automated compliance and certifications
- Centralized reporting and workforce insights
- One view of learning, skills, goals, and performance
The leading learning and performance platform with +90% user adoption
Most performance tools serve HR and no one else. This one works for managers and employees too. Inside Microsoft 365, where conversations already happen.
L&D Manager
“I build programs but by the time someone completes a course, their manager has no idea it happened, and nothing changes back on the job.”
- Learning connected directly to performance conversations and goal progress
- Skills gaps surface from performance data, so programs are built around what the business needs
HR Director
“We have good people, but too many managers aren't consistently developing them, motivating them, or making sure they have what they need to succeed.”
- Continuous performance data connected to learning and skills, one view of how people are performing and developing
- Manager effectiveness improves across the organization, not just where you have great managers
IT Leader
“Every new HR tool means a new security review, new data flows, and another system to govern.”
- Microsoft 365 Certified App. Annual Microsoft security review already done.
- AI and data stay inside your existing tenant. Same governance, nothing to manage separately.

FAQs
What is Zensai Scale?
Zensai Scale is a learning and performance platform built natively inside Microsoft 365. It connects learning with continuous performance management in one place: performance conversations and reviews, OKRs and SMART goals, 360 feedback, career frameworks, and AI coaching for managers, all running inside Microsoft Teams. It suits organizations moving from the annual review to a continuous performance rhythm, with learning and performance data working together.
Is Zensai built natively inside Microsoft 365?
Yes. Zensai is a learning and performance platform engineered to live inside Microsoft 365, not as an external app reaching in through connectors. So, learning and performance both run in Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, Copilot, and Power BI. IT finds, reviews, and deploys it as a Microsoft Certified App through the Microsoft Marketplace it already uses for vendor governance, which shortens review cycles and lifts adoption.
How does Zensai Scale connect learning and performance?
Zensai Scale runs learning and performance on one platform, so the two inform each other instead of sitting in separate tools. Performance reviews and check-ins surface skill gaps, and Zensai links those gaps to learning paths and development recommendations, so a performance signal becomes a development action. Career frameworks tie role expectations to the skills and learning that get someone there, giving managers and HR a single connected view.
Can Zensai Scale build career development and growth plans?
Yes. Zensai Scale includes a career framework where you define career paths, role expectations, and development plans, then link each one to the learning paths and skills behind it. Employees see where they can go and what to build to get there, and managers use development-focused conversations, informed by performance and skills data, to guide growth. This gives HR a structured approach to career development without a separate career-pathing tool.
Can Zensai Scale replace our annual performance review with a continuous rhythm?
Yes. Zensai Scale is built for continuous performance management rather than a single annual event: regular check-ins, 1:1s, 30-60-90 and probation reviews, formal cycles, and 360 feedback all run on an ongoing cadence inside Microsoft Teams. Feedback and development happen throughout the year, so managers and employees work from current context instead of a once-a-year snapshot. You can keep a formal annual cycle where you need one, and run the continuous rhythm around it.
Does Zensai handle OKRs and goal management in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Zensai handles OKRs and SMART goal management inside Microsoft Teams, where you set, cascade, and track goals at organization, team, and individual level, with alignment that gives everyone line-of-sight from their goals to company strategy. Goal progress updates continuously through check-ins and conversations rather than in a separate OKR tool. AI can draft OKRs and SMART goals from team priorities using Copilot, and a manager reviews and approves them, so the drafting is faster while people stay in control.
Can Zensai Scale replace our separate performance management and OKR tools?
Yes. Rather than running a separate performance management tool and a separate OKR tool, Zensai Scale handles both in one platform inside Microsoft 365, so you can retire those point tools, as well as the cost and admin that come with them. Because it sits alongside learning in the same platform, performance and development stay connected instead of splitting across systems, which a standalone performance suite can’t do. The result is one platform in the Microsoft 365 environment your teams already work in, not a stack of separate tools.
What AI does Zensai include, and does a person stay in control?
Zensai includes several named AI capabilities across learning and performance, each built into the flow of work. On performance, AI assist drafts OKRs and performance reviews, agentic goal drafting proposes goals through Copilot for a manager to approve, AI feedback coaching guides managers on delivering clear feedback, and AI review preparation summarizes progress and blockers before a conversation. On learning, the AI Tutor answers questions and AI recommendations suggest learning paths. All of it runs inside your Microsoft 365 governance boundary, and a person reviews and decides: the AI drafts and suggests, it doesn’t act on people on its own.
