Highlights

Carthago extended its leadership development program with Sharpist's hybrid coaching model, combining certified human coaching sessions with the 'always-on' Sharpist AI coach to reach leaders between sessions, not just during them.
In a six-week pilot with 25 learners, 88% activated the AI Coach independently, completing 74 sessions rated 4.6 out of 5. Onboarding reached 96% completion, without a single nudge from HR, signaling high demand and intrinsic interest.

About Carthago Reisemobilbau

Reisemobilbau is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of premium motorhomes, with 1,600 employees across Germany and Slovenia. Following rapid growth, Carthago's People Development team sought to deepen the impact of their existing leadership programs and reach leaders in the moments that matter most.

The challenge

Carthago had already built a strong coaching culture. But like most organizations, they faced a familiar gap: the space between coaching sessions – where stress builds, role conflicts go unresolved, and insights from the last conversation quietly fade before they can take hold.

Independent research from WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management confirmed this pattern: traditional coaching programs lose their impact when there is nothing to bridge the gap between human coaching sessions. The question for Carthago wasn't whether their leaders were developing. It was whether support could reach them exactly at the moment they actually needed it.

The solution:
3 Layers of a Hybrid Coaching Journey

Sharpist AI Coach (On demand)
Always on, no scheduling, no waiting. Whether it was preparing for a difficult conversation, processing a challenging team dynamic, or working through a moment of self-doubt — learners had a thinking partner on hand at all times. The focus areas they gravitated towards most reflected their real daily struggles: stress regulation, role conflict, and team dynamics were consistently the top three across the pilot group.
Human Coach (Monthly)
For the deeper tensions that require trust and nuance. Navigating competing expectations, resolving structural role conflicts, making decisions under pressure. The conversations that need a real human on the other end.
Action Items (After every sessions)
Generated after each coaching session, AI and human alike. Concrete, checkable steps that transfer the learnings from the session directly into daily work – keeping learners accountable long after the conversation ends.
We observe that our managers reflect significantly more frequently and approach leadership situations more consciously. (...) As a result, many are already better prepared for discussions and make decisions with more confidence. (...)
Denise Städele, People Developer, Carthago
(...) The AI coach was particularly helpful whenever I needed support or a sparring partner at short notice. Whether preparing a difficult discussion, a new task, or a challenge in everyday work: The AI coach helped me to structure my thoughts, adopt different perspectives, and develop concrete solution approaches.

Why Sharpist's AI Coach and not a generic AI tool?

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Sharpist's AI Coach is purpose-built for coaching. It understands the learner's goals, tracks progress over time, and generates session-specific Action Items that connect directly to each person's development journey. Being primed on Carthago's organizational context, the Sharpist AI Coach is able to use company-specific language and terms, making it feel remarkably human.

The result is a tailor-made, personalized coach for each learner, offering support that feels continuous rather than transactional.

As one learner put it: “For me, the AI coach is a very practical learning and support instrument. It was surprising how individual and helpful the answers are. I had initially expected primarily to receive information. In fact, the AI coach supports developing one’s own solutions, adopting new viewpoints, and directly implementing what has been learned into practice. Because of this, it has become a constructive companion in my everyday work for me.”

That kind of lasting practical impact is what distinguishes a coaching partner from a chatbot.

And the long-lasting results? The feedback from learners speaks for itself. Here's what they do differently after the program:
I reflect on challenges more consciously today and specifically seek input before I make decisions or tackle new topics. Instead of searching for information for a long time or thinking about solutions alone, I use the AI coach as quick support in everyday work. That saves time and helps me to act with more clarity and confidence.

Conclusion

Coaching drives behavioral change. Carthago's pilot showed that adding an AI Coach takes that one step further, making that change something learners can access, practice, and build on every single day.
