BOLD30 · Academy · Scale the human craft.

Your own academy.
Everyone trained on soft skills.

In the age of AI, the soft skills of all your people are strategic. We install your academy: your culture, your strategy, your trainers. Then we prove what it changes, person by person.

The problems we solve

Four problems you already know.

Training is bought course by course. Two years later, nobody can say what was done, for whom, or what it changed. Nobody is at fault. The system was built to buy courses, not to build a capability.

01 · Strategy

Your strategy does not execute fast enough.

It is clear in the executive committee. In the teams, every manager translates it their own way.

The answer. Each quarter, your three priorities become three gestures per population, trained the following quarter.
02 · Departures

Your people leave, and cash burns.

The first two years of an employee are expensive when they walk out. Onboarding left to chance, managers with too few tools.

The answer. A first-90-days path, managers trained before they manage, a visible path per role. A hypothesis we measure, not a promise.
03 · Culture

Your culture is not lived enough.

Not in meetings, not in how departments work. With AI and remote work, it no longer spreads by osmosis.

The answer. Your charter turned into gestures, trained by your own people, in mixed groups where functions meet.
04 · Proof

The head of HR cannot prove the effect.

Satisfaction: 9 out of 10. Impact: ? Your CEO will eventually ask what training builds inside the company.

The answer. Beliefs and behaviours measured before, during and after. One report per person, one page a quarter for the executive committee.

With rented training, the know-how stays with the provider.

The trainers, the method and the data walk out with the contract. Your people hear five versions of “feedback” from five providers. With an academy, all of it stays with you.

Why now

When knowledge is one question away, the difference is made elsewhere.

AI

Know-how is cheap, judgement is not.

Every employee can produce a document in a minute. Few can tell their manager what they really think, or turn a vague brief into a clear request.

Proof

Your CEO will ask for it.

Budgets are under review. “9 out of 10 satisfied” no longer defends a line in the plan. An effect, person by person, does.

Departures

Know-how and culture walk out.

Generations change, remote work spreads, and culture no longer passes by osmosis. What is not trained is lost.

Almost 1 %1

of your payroll is your training budget. Every year, a programme with one provider, then another with another provider on another subject.

1 Direct course costs: 0.7 % of labour costs in the European Union (Eurostat, CVTS 2020), 0.76 % in Switzerland and 0.88 % for companies of 250 people and more (Swiss Federal Statistical Office). Participants’ time is not included, so the real cost is higher.

What you get

Three faculties. More than 100 modules. One way of working.

An AI tool that makes it yours.

It aligns the modules on your competency framework, and turns your own content into modules: the founder’s book, the company film on your culture, the programme that explains your strategy. The gestures stay the right ones. The words become yours.

Why everyone, finally

Why you can now train everyone, not only an elite.

  • The design is done once, then reused for every population and every language.
  • Your own trainers deliver, at your cost, not at a provider’s day rate.
  • The app does the follow-up between sessions that used to need a person.
  • The measure comes from the same data, so proving the effect costs nothing extra.
  • Once the capacity exists for soft skills, building your internal hard skills modules gets much easier.

More people, more often.

People who are better trained behave better. Sellers close more, communication runs smoother, project leads take the right attitudes, and managers live the culture every day. That is the real gain. The savings are what lets you pay for it.

How it works

From the first design to trainers who run it alone.

01

Design and test

We calibrate with you: which trainers you have, which programmes are up to date, which population goes first, which languages. Then a 16-week test, and you decide.

02

Launch

We train your trainers, run the first programmes in pairs with them, certify the first ones, test the app and take the first measures.

03

Run

Your trainers deliver the foundation and the basic programmes. We audit at 30 and 100 days. Complex and strategic programmes stay with master trainers until yours reach that level, from the third year.

You choose who delivers.

Professional trainers, managers who train part of their time, our trainers rented for a defined number of days, or a mix of the three. We train them in small cohorts, audit them, and certify them on three levels. Train don’t Tell.

We bring the deployment know-how.

Which programme for which population, geographies, languages, logistics, planning. A complete PMO kit per programme, and a training project lead in your house whom we coach all along.

Train don’t Tell · The BOLD30 trainer label

The academy is its trainers. We make them certifiable.

A trainer who explains is not a trainer who changes behaviour. Train don’t Tell is our label for trainers who practise, correct and make people retry. We choose them with you, train them, audit them, then certify them on three levels.

N1

Certified

Delivers the foundation and the basic programmes, after audits at 30 and 100 days.

N2

Confirmed

Delivers the full range after the third training block, with the same audits.

N3

Master

Certifies the next trainers in your house. First internal Master around month 30, renewed by audit.

The path, over three years

Month 3Two weeks of four days, then co-animation and a 30-day audit.
Month 9Four days, then the 100-day audit.
Months 12 to 14Third block: N1, then N2.
Months 20, 26, 32Blocks four, five and six.
Your houseWhen a trainer leaves, your own Masters certify the replacement.

28 training days over three years, in cohorts of five to eight, with two audits per trainer. Three audit verdicts: yes, maybe with a second audit, or no, said clearly and early, in your interest.

Beyond skills

Onboarding, culture, strategy: your academy carries all three.

Onboarding

The first 90 days

A path for every newcomer. Managers trained before they manage. From week one, people meet your culture and your way of working.

Culture

Your charter in gestures

Practised in mixed groups, with a colleague watching, so your values are not a poster. Silos soften when people practise together.

Strategy

Explained again and again

Each quarter, your three priorities become three gestures per population. Managers hear them, try them and repeat them.

Anchor and measure

A behaviour is not presented. It is trained, anchored and measured.

Train

Role-play, mistake, feedback, retry

Led by your trainers, audited then certified. A group backbone: framing interview, kick-off, preparation, mid-point, follow-up, 12-week call.

Anchor, with the app

What happens between two sessions

After each session, the app asks for a real situation, a person and a date, then comes back to measure. It counts as much as the session. App in beta.

Measure

Beliefs before, during, after

Backed by a 180° or 360°. Business indicators chosen at framing. Kirkpatrick levels 1 to 4. One report per person.

Your own 180° and 360° tools.

You stop paying outside, every year, for 180° and 360° surveys. We build yours on your own competency framework and your own gestures, and give you the engine to run them yourselves, on your own data, with your own reports.

You hold the right of use, with no provider in the loop. We keep the method and the item bank. The data and the results are yours. Same logic for hiring: a competency-based recruitment programme, practised in pairs.

HR and the executive committee

One page a quarter, from the same data.

What we refuse to promise: a financial return to the cent attributed to training alone. Individual data is destroyed when the group ends. Only anonymous data stays.

The economics

Rent it every year, or own it.

Rented training
  • You pay again every year, for the same behavioural training.
  • Trainers, method and data stay with the provider.
  • Five providers, five models for one subject.
  • If your provider leaves, an empty folder stays.
Your academy
  • You pay in proportion to your deployment, over the first two to three years.
  • After that, mostly the time of your own trainers.
  • One method, one language, in every country.
  • If a trainer leaves, yours certify the next one.
2 to 4×

less on your soft skills training budget, at cruising speed, compared with the same training rented. And it is yours.

The result depends on your headcount, the programmes you choose and the pace of deployment. We run the simulation with you, on your real numbers, over ten years.

Next step

Let’s see if it fits your company.

For groups and mid-size companies with hundreds of people to train. We look at your population, what you spend with providers today, and what an academy would change. You leave with a clear view, whatever you decide.
