RCM ThinkLabs vs. Microsoft Viva Insights and Worklytics.

Last reviewed 8 October 2026

Microsoft Viva Insights and Worklytics show how people use AI tools. They track adoption by team, tool and role from workplace data. RCM ThinkLabs shows how well people judge what AI gives them: whether they define the problem, check the answer and own the decision.

RCM ThinkLabs is the human capability layer for AI transformation. People play immersive micro-sessions of a few minutes a day, built on MIT game-theory research, and make real calls inside a continuing story. Leaders get a measured record of how each person's judgment changes over time across three capabilities: specification, verification and conviction.

Where they fit

You need adoption numbers for your AI rollout. You want to find teams that have not started. You want collaboration patterns from data you already collect.

Where RCM ThinkLabs differs

High usage is not good judgment. Someone can open an AI assistant fifty times a day and accept every answer. RCM ThinkLabs measures what usage data cannot see: whether a person catches it when the AI is confident and wrong. It does this without reading anyone's email, chat or documents.

Using both

RCM ThinkLabs sits beside usage analytics. Analytics show where AI is adopted. RCM ThinkLabs shows whether the people using it are deciding well.

What RCM ThinkLabs does

Nothing to install, no integration. It runs in the browser and measures only the decisions people make in its sessions. Security

For the early-career person

The work that built judgment is disappearing.

AI took over much of the work people used to learn on. The responsibility stayed with them. Document review, first-pass analysis, routine reporting: the everyday work that taught people how to think a problem through is the work AI took first.

They are making calls that matter, with real people on the other side, having rehearsed none of them. RCM ThinkLabs gives them the rehearsal: a few minutes a day, with private feedback after every session.

For the manager

Questions leaders ask

Does RCM ThinkLabs read our email, chat or documents?

No. It runs in the browser with no integration. It measures only the decisions people make in its sessions.

We already track Copilot adoption. Why add this?

Adoption tells you who is using AI. It does not tell you who is verifying its output or owning the decision. That is the gap RCM ThinkLabs measures.

Is RCM ThinkLabs a monitoring tool?

No. Participants choose to play. Each person is measured against their own baseline, for development, not ranking.
