Our verdict on TheFORGE
TheFORGE is ProfitShapers’ self-paced leadership development app for emerging leaders, with features for learners as well as managers. Its core package combines nine structured courses with quizzes, four types of leadership-related assessments, development plans generated from assessment results, and a leadership journal with summaries, takeaways, and action items. ForgeAI adds five coaching modes, while a My Team view gives managers a way to see direct-report assessment and talent status. This makes it a fit for small teams seeking a structured way to develop emerging leaders, especially those already working within ProfitShapers’ ecosystem.
The product’s depth lies in combining reflection, assessment, and coursework rather than relying on a course library alone. Organizational, leadership, psychometrics, and talent assessments feed the development plans, and the app can use ProfitShapers talent data and core values for context. The manager view adds a team perspective to an otherwise self-paced format. Buyers looking primarily for one-to-one coaching should note that the listed delivery mode is self-paced; the AI coach is not described as a human coaching service.
Pricing depends on how a team buys the app. TheFORGE appears in ProfitShapers’ Growth and Transformation bundles, while Essential does not list it. As an add-on, the published monthly per-app prices are $75 for Band A (1–25 employees), $125 for Band B (26–100), $200 for Band C (101–250), and $400 for Band D (251–1,000); these are company-size bands, not per-user rates. A 30-day free trial is offered. Teams wanting a compact, structured leadership curriculum and assessment-led plans may find the format suitable; buyers seeking a standalone per-user plan or live coaching should compare alternatives.
