For organisations
Your people keep hitting the same ceiling. Four weeks to find out why.
On-Site Architect: I'm with you one day a week for four weeks, then I leave. No retainer, no programme that runs for a year.
On-Site Architect
One day a week, four weeks, then out. Before week one, we agree the real problem, the confidentiality terms and how people take part.
-
Week oneOne day on site
A session for the team
Optional. How capability holds up under load, worked through privately on paper. Nobody is read in front of anyone.
-
Week twoOne day on site
One-to-one structural reviews
For people who ask for one, after a short screening call. Each gets a written report within 72 hours. It goes to them alone.
-
Week threeOne day on site
More reviews, and time with the sponsor
No more than two reviews a day. Time with whoever sponsored the work, on what the organisation controls.
-
Week fourOne day on site, then I leave
What the organisation can change
Themes about load across the group, a final team session, and a short plan you run without me.
What You Have at the End
A short written plan about what the organisation controls: where the load sits, what keeps recurring, and who carries weight they shouldn't. Themes across the group, if at least six people had a one-to-one review, with no one identifiable. And a review at 90 days, at group level.
Your people keep their own reports. If anyone wants further work afterwards, it's arranged with them privately. You can fund it, and you'll be told only that it's happening.
What You See, and What You Don’t
People tell the truth only when it's safe to. Work written for their employer would be worthless to both of you.
This is about the four weeks. Inner Trove for Teams is separate and works differently.
You see
- That the days and sessions took place
- Themes about load across the group, only if at least six people took part, with no one identifiable
- The invoice
You don’t see
- Anyone's report
- What anyone said, one to one or in a team session
- Notes, recordings or transcripts
Not even with their permission. Permission given to an employer isn’t freely given, so I don’t ask for it. The one exception is a person’s own Inner Trove brief: written for that purpose, seen by them first, sent only by them, and withdrawn whenever they like.
How People Take Part
- Nobody is sent. The team session is optional, and one-to-one reviews are only for people who ask.
- Everyone knows why I'm there before I arrive.
- If someone isn't a fit for a review, you're told only that.
- I won't work with anyone you want "fixed" or managed out.
- No return-on-investment figure. Measure what you already measure.
Group Sessions for Teams
Team sessions on their own, alongside the four weeks, or as what follows them. What's said in the room stays in the room.
For one-to-one work with a single senior person, paid for by the organisation, see PSYNC’D for organisations.
A separate tool
Inner Trove for Teams
The manager's side of Inner Trove, coming soon. Each person takes the assessment for themselves, and their results stay theirs. If they choose, they can send their manager a short brief on working well with them: how they work, how to talk to them, what to delegate, how to recognise them, and the early signs they're carrying too much.
How it works
- The person sends it. Managers can't request it, invite anyone or send reminders.
- Managers see only the briefs they've been sent. They're never told who hasn't shared, and they agree never to ask.
- The person reads every word first, chooses which sections to include, and can withdraw it at any time.
- It's about working well together. No scores, and none of the private parts of their report.
- Never used in performance reviews, hiring, promotion or redundancy decisions. Your organisation agrees to that in writing.
- Managers can keep their own private notes on working with each person.
How it fits with the four weeks
It's separate from On-Site Architect. Nothing from the one-to-one reviews goes into it, and nothing from it goes into the reviews.
Included in the On-Site Architect fee.
Inner Trove opens soon.
