The Method / 02 · Train
How do we make our people genuinely capable?
Not slideware — your tools, your files, your real Tuesday afternoon. A tiered ladder from safe daily use to building internal tools, and the difference is measured at week six, not assumed.

Formats · and the proof
Built to fit — measured at week six.
- AOn-site cohort (flagship). Anywhere in NB, NS, PEI, or NL — cohorts of 6–20, real-work artifacts built during sessions, office hours for 30 days after.
- BRemote over Teams. Same curriculum and deliverables, live — recorded for your internal reuse.
- CExecutive briefing. A half-day for leadership: what’s real, what’s hype, risk, governance, and ROI framing.
Training can stop here — the capability belongs to your people either way. Many engagements do exactly that.
Staff fluent in the safe-use rules · week 6
Team literacy, re-scored on the same dial
The week-six checkpoint · worked example — measured, not assumed
Capability that isn’t measured is a hope. Every cohort ends on the same dial it started on.
