how we deliver
- 1
Discovery call & problem framing
We align on sponsors, success metrics, and constraints (2026 tool landscape, data rules, procurement gates) before anything is scheduled company-wide.
- 2
Stakeholder interviews & day-in-the-life context
Short conversations with practitioners (not only leadership) so scenarios reflect real workflows—not generic slide demos.
- 3
Curriculum design & artifacts
Modular agenda, exercise scripts, evaluation rubrics, and governance checkpoints matched to your vocabulary (banking, FMCG, engineering, etc.).
- 4
Engaged, hands-on delivery
Facilitation-led sessions with live exercises, breakout prompts, and documented failure modes—minimum passive lecture time.
- 5
Post-session support: documentation & next steps
Written recap, pilot backlog, links to explainx.ai courses for scaled upskilling, and optional office hours so momentum doesn’t stop at the workshop.
