Toolkit

Implementation kits built from this index's own framework: the problems worth naming, the fixes under each, and every action with an owner and a time-box.

These contain no third-party research. Every question, action and owner in a kit was written here. No publisher is named, quoted or cited anywhere in them — that material lives on the research side of this site, where it is free and links to the organization that published it. A kit that breaks that line is not published.

How a kit works

Every kit is the same five documents, used in the same order. Together they take a team from "we are probably fine" to a plan with names against it.

  1. Run the diagnostic. One question per problem worth checking for, with the statement underneath so a room can agree what it is answering. This is one meeting, not a survey. Anything marked no or unsure is the only part of the rest you need — most teams find they own about a third of the list.
  2. Cut the action plan down. Every fix, broken into discrete actions with a role and a window against each. Delete the fixes for the questions you answered yes, and what remains is your programme.
  3. Hand out the owner map. The same actions regrouped by who holds them, so each person gets their column without reading anyone else's.
  4. Work the sequence. The same actions again, ordered by horizon, so the first thirty days are a list rather than a judgement call.

What you get

Twelve files. Four sections plus a guide, each in Word and PDF — editable for the version you circulate, printable for the room.

Unbranded on purpose

The .docx files carry no logo and no watermark. Put your own name on them and issue them as your own work; that is what they are for.

They do not go stale

Kits are generated from the same framework the research side renders. When the underlying work is revised the kit is reissued with it, not a year later.

Try before you buy

The diagnostic is free, in full, for every kit. It is the section that tells you whether you need the rest.
