Welcome to your February product update from Mindtools Kineo.
This month, we’re focused on one thing, helping you build stronger managers and deliver measurable impact. From new expert-led skill bites to the launch of our tiered M: Suite, we’re continuing to connect insight, learning, and practice into one seamless development experience.
Here’s what’s new, improved, and coming soon.
What’s New at Mindtools Kineo
New expert skill bites
Building organizational capability means equipping managers with the right skills at the right time.
Following strong uptake of our first expert skill bite, we’ve launched five new bite-sized masterclasses designed to help managers learn directly from leading thinkers in their field.
Each expert skill bite is:
- Based on cutting-edge Mindtools Kineo research
- Written and delivered by recognised authors and keynote speakers
- Practical, focused, and immediately applicable
Available now to all customers and individual subscribers.
Introducing tiered subscriptions – the Mindtools learning suite
You may have seen the launch of our tiered M: Suite subscriptions earlier this year. Since then, we’ve continued to refine the offer, strengthening the progression between tiers and expanding the services available at Enterprise level.
The result is a clearer, more connected development journey, from foundational skills to measurable organisational impact.

Kineo Courses
Essential Infection Prevention and Control for Your Workplace
Every day at work, we touch dozens of surfaces, interact with colleagues and customers, and share common spaces. The good news is that a few simple habits can dramatically reduce the risk of infections spreading in your workplace.
Launching 2 March, this new course replaces our COVID-Safe Workplace and takes a broader, practical approach to preventing the spread of infections at work.
Learners will gain the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and colleagues from common workplace infections, supporting a safer, healthier environment.
Leading with Integrity
Integrity is often spoken about in abstract terms, yet at its heart it is straightforward: values and actions must align.
This new Kineo Short explores how leaders align values with actions and model ethical behaviour for their teams.
Even small, consistent choices signal reliability and build trust. That trust creates inclusive environments where people feel respected and safe to speak up.
Available from Monday 2 March.
Platform enhancements
We’ve continued to improve performance and usability across the platform.
Recent updates include:
- Faster dashboard and search performance
- Enhanced accessibility across key components
- Improved layouts for a smoother user experience
Learnforce
We’re continuing to enhance the platform, with progress towards multi-language capability, improvements to the classroom booking system, and easier self-service configuration for Adaptics within Kineo Courses. We’re also scoping Learning Pathways, including early client engagements, to create more structured, guided development experiences.
