Pilot Round 1 Proposal — Start with one team, then expand company-wide based on the results

To get a company-wide training program approved, you first need to show results, and you only see results once training has run. Pilot Session 1 works like this: we run a half-day session for just one team, check the results through a participant survey and a manager report, and only then decide whether to roll out company-wide. It is a paid, one-off training, so unlike a free seminar it runs as the actual course, and the company-wide proposal is built from its results.

From pilot to company-wide rollout — 4 steps

One training session becomes your approval material. We prepare each stage’s deliverable so the manager can attach it to the internal approval request as is.

  1. 1
    Pilot Round 1
    Training day
    We run just one team through the exact course you plan to roll out company-wide. We agree on the target team and topic with your manager, and align the level with a free pre-assessment.
  2. 2
    Participant survey
    The last 10 minutes of training
    Instead of asking about satisfaction, the survey asks 'Can I use this in my work?' and is collected on the spot. Names are not recorded.
  3. 3
    Manager report
    Within a week of training
    We send survey results, the instructor’s observations, and what to adjust for a company-wide rollout, organized so you can attach them directly to your approval request.
  4. 4
    Company-wide rollout proposal
    Plus a report
    Based on the pilot results, we send a company-wide training proposal covering audience, sessions, schedule, and quote. Even if you don’t expand, the pilot is a complete training in its own right.

Pilot Round 1 structure and pricing

The fee is calculated at the same base rate as the half-day course in the training quote calculator. A pilot does not cost extra, and the survey, report, and company-wide rollout proposal are all included. Terms for a company-wide rollout are set out in the contract at that time.

Pilot Session 1: 1 team · half day (4 hours)

One session of the actual course · ideal class size 20, maximum 30 (same standard as the quote calculator)
Calculating feePer-session instructor fee · VAT, materials, and travel costs not includedHalf-day hourly rate × 4 hours
  • Free pre-diagnosis before the session to assess the team’s level
  • The exact course you plan to roll out company-wide, delivered as a 4-hour half-day
  • Participant survey in the final 10 minutes (collected on site)
  • 1 manager report · 1 company-wide rollout proposal
  • Delivered by the instructor who will lead company-wide training

How it differs from a free seminar or pre-diagnosis

This is real training, not a sample. That is why its results can serve as the basis for company-wide training.

What the manager report includes

We write the report so managers can send it up to their supervisors as is, in the right length and format. The same post-training report template is used for company-wide training.

Participant survey results
Response distribution for each question and the original free-text comments. Names are not included.
Instructor observations
Right after the session, the instructor records the team’s level, reactions, and sticking points.
What to adjust when rolling out company-wide
What to adjust for the company-wide rollout, such as time allocation, hands-on ratio, and difficulty by audience.

When a pilot fits · When it doesn’t

When starting with a pilot makes sense
  • You are planning company-wide or multi-department training but find it hard to commit budget without knowing the results
  • It’s a new topic, such as AI adoption or generational communication, and we want to see first whether it fits our organization
  • You are switching training providers for the first time and want to check the instructor and delivery style in advance
When it is better to schedule company-wide training right away
  • For subjects every employee must take at the same time, such as statutory mandatory training, scheduling a company-wide rollout directly is faster
  • If your audience is a single team from the start, this is a half-day course, not a pilot. Get a quote directly from the quote calculator

FAQ

Is Pilot Round 1 free?

This is a paid program. It uses the same standard rate as the half-day course in our quote calculator — we don't charge extra for a pilot. Unlike a free talk, we run the actual course as-is, so even if you decide not to expand, that team's training is complete.

Do we have to roll out company-wide training after the pilot?

No. The pilot ends with the one-off training contract. The company-wide rollout proposal is provided as material for your decision, and whether to expand is up to you and your company.

Which team should we choose for the pilot?

Choose a team close to the average of your company-wide training audience. If you pick the most receptive or the most challenging team, the results won’t represent the whole company. We help select the target team during the consultation.

Who creates the participant survey, and who sees the results?

Nanum Consulting prepares the questions and collects responses on the spot in the last 10 minutes of the training. The original results are included in the manager report as they are, but participant names are not recorded.

Can the pilot be a 2-hour seminar or a full-day (8-hour) session?

Yes. However, 2 hours leaves no room for hands-on practice, making the effect hard to measure, and a full day is hard to arrange because it takes a team out for the whole day, so we set a half-day of 4 hours as the default. For other formats, change the format in the quote calculator and submit a request.

What does the pilot cost if we expand company-wide?

We go over this together when setting the company-wide contract terms. The materials and cases built in the pilot carry over directly to the company-wide course, which reduces separate customization costs.
