how we deliver

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Curriculum design & artifacts

    Modular agenda, exercise scripts, evaluation rubrics, and governance checkpoints matched to your vocabulary (banking, FMCG, engineering, etc.).

  4. 4

    Engaged, hands-on delivery

    Facilitation-led sessions with live exercises, breakout prompts, and documented failure modes—minimum passive lecture time.

  5. 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.

Platform vs. application teams?

Split modules are possible—we often run two tracks with shared governance layer.
