How you start
One service line, one live client. Four guided sessions take you from your method to a launched diagnostic. Give it the time in one go and you can be live within a week; spread it out and you are live within 30 days. Nothing to replace and no long-term contract.
The one decision
Both routes follow the same four stages and end with a launched diagnostic that is yours. The difference is how much of the building we do.
You build the model; we guide. Four one-hour sessions, up to four people. Your team does the work between sessions.
Right if you want the model in your own hands from day one, and can give it a day of focused time to start.
We build it with you. A two-hour workshop, then TheAX consultants build the model, the AXAT Progression Matrix and your first assessments for your review. Up to six people.
Right if senior time is the scarce thing, and you would rather buy that time back than spend it.
You set the pace. Commit a focused day and you can have a working model the same day. The four stages can take as little as a week - and are always complete within 30 days.
The four stages
One-hour kick-off session at the start of the day: what is needed and how to get going.
Then you build your model.Two-hour workshop to capture your method. We build your maturity model for review - the same afternoon if you want it in a day.
Together we build the AXAT Progression Matrix, ready for internal testing.
Session two, the next day or when you are ready: we review what you have built, resolve any issues, suggest improvements and plan your testing.
Then you test.Finalise an MVP of the Progression Matrix and plan which assessments you want live. We then build a first pass of those assessments for your review.
Meanwhile you test the Progression Matrix.Session three: we look at your testing, help you finalise the model and guide you on getting ready for go-live.
Finalise the assessments you want live.
You prepare for launch, with us on hand to support.Session four: finalise everything for your launch.
Launch session: get everything ready to go live.
As fast as you want it. Each stage moves when you are ready, and all four are complete within a maximum of 30 days - sooner if you want to move faster.
