Use the supplied examples first. Bring one real workflow when you are ready to adapt the exercises. You do not need to buy software or prepare a complete dataset to start.
Each lesson should leave you with one decision or piece of your plan. Continue when it is useful, and return to the next unfinished lesson on this browser.

Examples and further guidance
More about what you will build
Start small. Build something you can use.
You can work through the example without preparing files or buying software. Then use the workbook to adapt the method to one real workflow. Work one lesson at a time; you can return to the next unfinished lesson on this browser.
By the end, you’ll be able to…
- Connect starting needs, participation, assessments and later practice without making every step another survey.
- Compare matched observations using clear criteria, while showing missing follow-ups and limits on outcome claims.
- Give instructors, clients and participants the appropriate findings and a concrete next improvement.
Make the practice useful.
First, try the supplied example. Then test your plan with an instructor, supervisor or mentor who can review the evidence.
Reading explains the method; the exercises produce a first plan. Applying it to your organization may need further review and implementation work.
A fictional leadership cohort combines intake, self and colleague feedback, coaching reflections and later practice checks. A short workshop variation shows how to reduce the plan.
Use these fictional inputs.
- Intake; baseline and follow-up assessments; attendance; pulse feedback; multi-rater observations; assignments, reflections and coaching evidence; later follow-up.
First thought: What evidence would show someone used the learning, beyond saying they enjoyed the course?
What this course covers
Use this course for learning and development questions. Employment status alone does not make the workflow Employee experience.
Agree purpose, essential definitions and access before collecting. The lesson order deepens those practices; it does not postpone them.
How a connected workflow changes the work
Make the next question easier to answer.
When tools stay separate
Baseline surveys, a 360 platform and client reports each hold a different part of the learning journey.
The connected approach
Plan the identity, assessment criteria and client access together so recurring comparisons use a continuing record.
Sopact’s approach brings collection, qualitative analysis, record context and operational control into the same working process. The benefit to test is how much reconciliation and specialist support your team needs each cycle—not simply how many features a tool lists.
A simple one-off survey may need no more than a form. This course is for work where evidence accumulates and must stay usable. Existing systems can remain sources; agree and test the relevant imports and access before relying on them.
Review your completed plan
Test the plan you have built.
Use the pilot checklist on workbook page 7. Ask a colleague to trace a learning journey through collection, review and an appropriate client report. Record any gap, its owner and the next review point.
