Engagements
How a RAPID engagement works
Engagements are for a leadership group spanning multiple teams - when the work needs 3+ stakeholders aligned and a board- or exec-ready deliverable. For a single team or function, see Meg instead.
The free assessment, calculator, and Task Mapper are designed to stand on their own. When a leadership group wants a deeper review, the work is structured - not bespoke - so it is fast to scope and easy to compare against alternatives.
Three formats. Each one starts with the same RAPID assessment your team can take for free; the engagement adds research-anchored analysis, stakeholder context, and accountability across the timeline.
Diagnostic Review
A fast, honest read on where you are - and whether deeper work is the right next step.
Best for
You have a GenAI initiative under way, results are inconsistent, and you want a research-anchored second opinion before the next planning cycle.
What you get
- 60-minute scoping call to align on the team and the question
- RAPID assessment from up to three leaders, with alignment notes from the researcher comparing perspectives
- Review of any Process Analysis Worksheet you bring from /task-mapper, used to focus the scoping call
- 1-page diagnostic letter: top three risks, top two adoption gaps, suggested 30-day moves
- 60-minute readout call to walk through the letter
- ×No on-site delivery
- ×No vendor selection
- ×No interim reporting
Roadmap Engagement
Diagnostic plus a written 30-60-90-day roadmap your leadership team can actually run.
Best for
You want a documented path from current state to measurable value over the next quarter - with the failure modes you are most exposed to surfaced explicitly.
What you get
- Everything in the Diagnostic Review
- 5-10 stakeholder interviews (sponsors, builders, end users)
- Tailored failure-mode workshop using cases from the 44-case dataset most relevant to your industry
- Written 30-60-90-day roadmap with named owners, success metrics, and decision points
- Two checkpoint calls at weeks 2 and 4
Full Implementation Support
Roadmap plus hands-on delivery support across the first 60-90 days of execution.
Best for
You want a partner alongside the team while the roadmap is being run - not to replace your people, but to keep the work honest, well-measured, and connected to the research.
What you get
- Everything in the Roadmap Engagement
- Weekly working sessions with the delivery team
- Mid-engagement reset workshop if metrics drift
- Board-ready memo at the end of the engagement, suitable for executive committee
- 30-day post-engagement check-in
What every engagement shares
- Anchored in the RAPID methodology and the 44-case dataset - not in someone's vendor pipeline.
- Failure-mode-first: the cases that went wrong shape the work as much as the cases that went right.
- Written deliverables. No engagement ends with only verbal recommendations or a deck buried in someone's drive.
- Confidentiality by default. Anything sensitive shared during the engagement stays out of the public dataset.
