Mursion

Mursion develops virtual reality and AI-powered simulation environments that help professionals practice interpersonal skills. Its enterprise workforce training platform combines artificial intelligence with human-powered simulations, giving learners opportunities to rehearse demanding conversations before encountering them at work. The company serves education, healthcare, hospitality, retail, financial services and corporate learning programmes.

Practice scenarios address situations such as sensitive employee feedback, classroom disruptions, patient communication and customer de-escalation. Learners interact with avatars in simulated workplace environments designed to make emotionally challenging conversations realistic while providing a setting for experimentation and reflection. The focus is on communication, empathy, leadership and other behaviours that influence professional relationships.

Practice, coaching and assessment

Mursion offers immersive simulation sessions alongside custom scenario development and avatar simulation authoring. Organisations can adapt practice to workplace situations and combine it with skills assessment, rubric tracking and compliance analytics through the Mursion Intelligence Platform. Learning management system and Single Sign-On integrations support its use within enterprise training programmes.

Its coaching offering includes personalised one-to-one executive and mindset coaching, scalable group coaching and reflection workshops. Together, these services support individual development as well as broader organisational learning initiatives. In education, applications include teacher preparation and classroom management; in healthcare, they include bedside manner and clinical communication. Corporate applications span management development, sales and customer service.

Development and expansion

Founded in 2014, Mursion commercialised simulation technology originating in academic research around TeachLivE, a classroom simulator developed at the University of Central Florida with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The business extended that foundation beyond teacher preparation into a wider range of professional settings.

In August 2024, Mursion acquired Valor Performance, adding digital performance coaching capabilities to its portfolio. Those offerings were integrated into Mursion Coaching, expanding the company's approach to workforce development alongside its simulation and assessment products.
