The ask
One call, thirty minutes.
There is nothing to sign and nothing to decide before it. Most people arrive at the call having already run the audit on themselves, which makes it a far better thirty minutes.
Three ways in, in the order we would suggest
-
Run the audit on yourself
Four minutes, no login. You will know quickly whether this measures something your current instruments miss, and the answer costs you nothing either way.
-
Take the brief
The written argument, the evidence with its limitations, the mechanism, and what a cohort involves. Seven pages, no form, no email gate. Written to be forwarded to the person who holds the budget.
-
Book the call
Thirty minutes, with whoever would sponsor this internally. Bring the aggregate picture if you have already run the audit across a layer.
What happens on the call
We read your aggregate picture together, if there is one, and say what we think it means. Where we think a programme would not help you, we say that, and it happens often enough to be worth mentioning here.
If it would help, you get the shape, the dates available, and the cost, on the call rather than in a document a week later.
What does not happen on the call
- No pricing that arrives only after you are committed. The number is said out loud, once, in the first conversation.
- No proposal document that takes two weeks and says what the call already said.
- No decision asked for on the call. You should not be able to buy this in thirty minutes.
What we need from you
- A named sponsor. One senior person who will send the audit link themselves, under their own name. Sent by an HR system, it gets the response rate an HR system gets.
- A defined population. A level and above, not a hand-picked list.
- The confidentiality statement, in your words, in writing. That individual results are the individual's, and that nothing from this reaches a performance conversation. We will not run the audit without it.
- One held date. The Intensive is residential and the Day 30 re-measure is fixed to it, so the two dates are set together or not at all.
What we do not need
A budget approval before the audit. A signed statement of work before the conversation. Access to anybody's performance data, now or ever.
Measure your layer.
It is free, it commits you to nothing, and it is the only honest place to start.
