What's inside
Run the twelve-question audit in one afternoon and see which part of your skills framework to fix first.
Inside the guide
- Built for a job that no longer exists: when and how to adapt
- Proving it worked: the indicator ladder, and who owns each rung
- Two populations, one framework: the problem nobody writes about
- Twelve questions, one afternoon: the audit that tells you which part to start with
Five skills measured to the outcome are worth more in a budget conversation than fifty measured to attendance.
