SUMMARY:No Evidence\, No Adoption: Why Capability Frameworks Stall After Launch
DESCRIPTION:Capability frameworks take months to build. They get signed off\, rolled out\, used for one review cycle\, and then they go quiet. Managers stop referencing them. Employees don’t open their plans again. The framework becomes a system nobody visits. Design is not what went wrong. What separates the frameworks that are embedded from the ones that quietly die\, is whether they produce tangible results. An assessment finds a gap. The gap becomes a plan the employee owns. The plan becomes targeted learning. Run it once and it is an exercise. Run it again against the same standard to yield results. \nIn this session\, you will learn: \n\nThe five patterns behind almost every rollout that goes quiet\, and which of them are recoverable\nWhat the second assessment changes\, and what has to stay fixed between the two for it to mean anything\nWhat adoption looks like at 30\, 90 days and 12 months\, plus three questions to test whether your framework is embedded or just installed

SUMMARY:Best Practices: Introducing Interactions
