Using AI to strengthen feedback skills in Collaboration Lab

by | Jul 10, 2026 | Communication, Collaboration Lab

Success at Michigan Ross depends on more than technical expertise. As the foundation of the Sanger Leadership Center’s student progression, Collaboration Lab equips students with the leadership and collaboration skills needed to succeed in team-based environments throughout their degree programs, including experiences like MAP and Consulting Studio.

During Collaboration Lab: Accelerate, Sanger integrated Maizey, an AI-powered team dynamics tool, into Giving and Receiving Feedback workshops. Students practiced navigating real team scenarios through AI-supported role-play, building confidence in difficult conversations before applying those skills with classmates and project teams.

By combining leadership frameworks with emerging technology, Sanger created a low-risk environment for experimentation, reflection, and skill development. Used across Full-Time MBA, Weekend MBA, and One-Year Master’s programs, this approach reflects Sanger’s commitment to helping students build the skills that support success at Ross and throughout their careers.
