We offer three core services:

• Capability Planning Intensive (£2,000) - Define what good looks like by role and level so hiring, development, and performance align around the same capabilities.

• Tailored Capability Design (from £1,500) - Turn capabilities into step-by-step development pathways that show people exactly what to learn and when.

• Implementation Guidance (from £750) - Review your existing learning offer to identify what to keep, fix, or stop based on real value and capability alignment.

Capability Planning clarifies what good performance looks like by role and level, identifies current capability gaps, and designs structured development pathways. Unlike generic training matrices or vague competency lists, it creates clear, actionable frameworks that hiring managers, L&D teams, and employees can actually use. It's the strategic planning work that should happen before you spend on training.

These services work best in organizations with:

• Multiple roles or levels that need clear development paths

• Growing teams where capability needs aren't yet defined

• Training budgets without clear alignment to business needs

• Performance frameworks that feel too vague to be useful

• L&D teams who need to justify learning spend with measurable outcomes

Ideal for corporate services, operational teams, professional services, and organization-wide learning structures.

No. This is capability planning and pathway design, not training delivery. We design the frameworks, define the capabilities, and structure the development paths—but you deliver the actual learning through your existing training providers, internal L&D, or external courses. Think of it as the strategic blueprint that makes your training more effective.

Yes, but with clear boundaries. We can design capability frameworks for operational, leadership, and professional development roles within regulated sectors. However, we don't design statutory frameworks, clinical competencies, licence-to-practise requirements, or compliance-led learning. If your sector has non-regulated roles (operations, leadership, support functions), we can help with those.

Yes. Implementation Guidance (from £750) helps you analyze existing learning, map it to capabilities, and decide what to keep, fix, or stop. We can also provide advisory support as you roll out frameworks internally.

Most Capability Planning engagements are completed within 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and organisational availability.

The process is designed to minimise disruption to day-to-day operations.

Yes, if you have multiple roles or are planning to scale. Small teams with 3-5 roles can benefit from streamlined frameworks. If you're a single-person operation or have only 1-2 identical roles, this may be premature.

Yes. All work can be delivered remotely and works well with distributed or hybrid teams.

Editable, usable frameworks in your preferred format (Word, Excel, PDF). You'll receive capability definitions, development pathways, implementation guidance, and supporting documentation—all designed for your context, ready to use.

Some organisations choose to engage further support after the planning phase.

Any additional work is optional, clearly scoped, and agreed separately. There is no automatic continuation.

Fixed-price packages based on scope, not hourly rates. Capability Planning Intensive: £2,000. Tailored Capability Design: from £1,500. Implementation Guidance: from £750. Pricing depends on complexity (number of roles, levels, pathways).

Yes, as long as there is a genuine intent to improve workforce capability and apply the recommendations.

This work prioritises clarity and effectiveness over size.

Start with a conversation. Email hello.growthpathways@gmail.com to discuss your situation. We can help clarify whether you need capability planning, pathway design, or implementation support—and whether now is the right time.

Email hello.growthpathways@gmail.com with a brief description of your organization, the roles you want to focus on, and what you're trying to solve. We'll arrange a short call to discuss fit and next steps.
