Executive summary

Committee one-pager for pilot approval decisions.

Use this page in procurement, legal, and sponsor conversations when deciding whether to run a 30-day outplacement cohort pilot.

What this solves

Outplacement teams already provide coaching and workshops. The operating-layer gap is between-session execution consistency: signal timing, prep discipline, and cohort-level visibility. Starting Monday addresses that operating gap while preserving counselor judgment.

Success definition partner and client HR can share

  • + Partner and client HR agree baseline, metric definitions, and day-30 pass/fail criteria before launch.
  • + Pilot succeeds only if adoption, signal-response, and prep-readiness thresholds are met in agreed measurement window.
  • + Expansion requires sponsor sign-off on day-30 evidence and governance notes, not narrative-only confidence.

No-regret pilot scope and contract shape

  • + One cohort, fixed decision window, and explicit pass/fail criteria in contract scope.
  • + Parallel legal/security track during kickoff week to reduce approval delay risk.
  • + If pilot criteria are missed, close without expansion commitment and retain artifacts for future decisions.

Implementation burden split

Starting Monday

Platform setup, scorecard framework, runbook templates, and weekly review packet structure.

Partner program lead

Cohort nomination, governance ownership, and intervention accountability assignment.

Counselor leads

Session integration, participant adherence coaching, and red-flag intervention execution.

Board-safe claims policy

  • + Use observed cohort outcomes and disclose measurement window.
  • + Avoid guaranteed placement claims from directional pilot indicators.
  • + Separate partner-observed outcomes from historical market benchmarks.

Next step

Would it be unreasonable to approve one 30-day cohort with explicit pass/fail criteria before deciding on broader rollout?

Clean no path: if criteria are not met, close without expansion commitment.
