4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Workshop Net Promoter Score (NPS)
How likely participants are to recommend your workshops or training sessions to a colleague.
Target · > +50 (on a scale of -100 to +100)

After your 'Design Thinking Fundamentals' workshop, 8 out of 10 participants rated it a 9 or 10, giving you an NPS of +60. This tells us people found it genuinely valuable.

LMS Module Completion Rate
The percentage of assigned learning modules or pathways completed by participants in your programmes.
Target · > 85% for assigned courses

For the 'Lean Startup Basics' online module you curated, 90% of the 50 enrolled intrapreneurs finished all sections, showing good engagement with the content.

Programme Logistics & Delivery Accuracy
Ensuring all innovation programmes, workshops, and events are scheduled, resourced, and delivered on time and within budget.
Target · 100% of events scheduled and resourced on time

Your 'Idea Challenge Launch' event went off without a hitch: venue booked, speakers confirmed, comms sent, and all materials ready, all by the agreed deadline.

Innovation Community Monthly Active Users (MAU)
The percentage of registered members who actively engage (post, comment, react) in our internal innovation community (e.g., on Circle.so).
Target · > 25% MAU for programmes you support

You've been helping run the 'Innovation Champions' community. We saw MAU jump from 20% to 30% after you introduced a weekly 'Ask Me Anything' session with an internal expert.

Quality of Participant Feedback
Beyond just scores, we look at the depth and constructive nature of feedback received on your programmes and facilitation.
  • Participants specifically mention 'I learned X' or 'This helped me Y' in open-text responses. They offer concrete suggestions for improvement, showing they feel heard and invested. You're getting positive comments about your ability to explain complex topics clearly and create an engaging atmosphere.
Proactive Programme Improvement
Your ability to spot areas where a programme could be better, and then propose and implement those changes without being asked.
  • You identify a common sticking point in a workshop and suggest a new exercise to address it. You notice low engagement in a learning module and propose a different format or content. You're always looking for ways to make things smoother and more impactful, sharing these ideas with your manager.
Informal Mentorship & Guidance
The extent to which colleagues, especially new joiners or those participating in your programmes, seek you out for advice and support.
  • New team members come to you with questions about our processes. Participants in the idea challenge ask for your input on their project direction. Your manager notes that you're a go-to person for practical advice on programme execution, showing you're building trust and expertise.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing People Grow and Learn

You get a real kick out of watching someone grasp a new concept or successfully apply a new tool you've taught them. You love seeing their confidence build as they tackle an unknown problem.

After your workshop, a colleague from Finance comes up to you and says, 'I never thought I could do design thinking, but I've just prototyped a new report layout!'

Building Something New and Impactful

You're driven by the idea of helping to shape the future of the organisation, even if it's one small programme at a time. You want to see tangible changes in how we operate.

You successfully launch our new internal idea challenge, and within weeks, we've got dozens of promising new concepts bubbling up from across the business.

Connecting Diverse Ideas and People

You thrive on bringing different perspectives together, helping people from various teams find common ground and collaborate on exciting new projects. You're a natural bridge-builder.

You organise a cross-departmental brainstorming session that results in two teams, who previously barely spoke, deciding to partner on a new customer service initiative.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Lip Service' Trap: Hearing leaders talk about risk-taking, but seeing them reward incrementalism.
  • Battle for Mindshare: Your important long-term work often gets pushed aside for someone else's 'urgent' quarterly target.
  • The Middle Management 'Permafrost': Managers who are incentivised for stability, not disruption, and subtly block their teams from participating.
  • ROI When There Is No 'R': Constantly trying to justify your budget for exploratory work with traditional ROI metrics.
  • Being the 'Chief Fun Officer': Getting pigeonholed into running 'fun' workshops rather than being seen as a serious strategic contributor.
  • Success Has Many Fathers: When a project you coached succeeds, the original department takes all the credit. If it fails, it's an 'innovation team failure'.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, unchanging daily routine.
  • Direct P&L responsibility or immediate, measurable financial returns from your specific programmes.
  • Formal direct reports (though you'll informally guide others).
  • A quiet, solitary work environment; you'll be interacting with people constantly.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to generate and test new ideas by equipping our people with the right skills and mindset. You're building the foundations for future growth, making sure we're not just talking about innovation, but actually doing it. You're a key cog in shifting our organisational behaviour towards exploration and calculated risk-taking.

Inside the business
  • Senior Innovation Program Specialist (your manager)
  • HR Learning & Development Team
  • Marketing & Communications Team
  • Department Heads (e.g., Product, Engineering, Sales) who want innovation training
  • Internal Project Teams (the intrapreneurs you'll support)
Outside the business
  • External training providers (occasionally)
  • Innovation community platforms (e.g., Circle.so)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in a role involving programme coordination, learning & development, or project support, ideally within a corporate environment.
  • Demonstrable experience running workshops or facilitating group discussions, even if it was just for a small team.
  • A solid understanding of at least one innovation methodology (e.g., Design Thinking, Lean Startup) and how it's applied in practice.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines, often with competing priorities.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can craft a clear email and speak confidently in front of a group.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Miro & Advanced Facilitation

You'll move beyond basic templates to designing custom, multi-day workshop templates from scratch. This means embedding interactive elements, complex voting mechanisms, and advanced collaboration features to handle more sophisticated challenges.

Custom template creation · Real-time collaboration techniques · Integration with other tools

  • This quarter: Take an advanced Miro certification course.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Innovation Capability Specialist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

    • Programme Portfolio Management: Overseeing multiple, interconnected innovation programmes, managing dependencies and resource allocation.
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of the 'heavy lifting' in innovation capability building involves sifting through information, drafting communications, and pulling together resources. What if you could get a clever assistant to handle much of that, freeing you up for the really interesting stuff – like actually coaching teams and designing brilliant new programmes?

We're not just talking about theory here. Our innovation team is already using AI to make our work quicker and smarter. You'll get access to tools and training that will seriously boost your productivity, letting you focus on human connection and creative problem-solving, not repetitive tasks. Think of it as having a super-efficient co-pilot for your daily work.

Workshop Content Synthesizer

Imagine you've got transcripts from dozens of employee interviews. Instead of spending hours manually sifting through them, you can use AI to instantly cluster pain points into themes and even draft 'How Might We' statements for your next ideation workshop. That's a massive head start!

Idea Pattern Recognition

After a company-wide idea challenge, you might have hundreds of raw ideas. Feed them into an AI tool, and it can help you identify non-obvious connections, cluster similar concepts, and flag emerging strategic themes that would take days to spot manually. It's like having an extra pair of super-sharp eyes.

Personalized Learning Pathfinder

When you're coaching an intrapreneurial team, you can use an AI tool to act as a 'coach-in-your-pocket'. It'll curate custom learning paths based on their project's specific needs – for example, 'You need to learn about B2B customer discovery and financial modeling for SaaS. Here are three articles, a podcast, and an internal expert to talk to.' Instant, tailored support.

'Immune System' Comms Drafter

Drafting sensitive communications that anticipate and address resistance can be tricky. You can use AI to help. For example, prompt it: 'Act as a skeptical CFO. What are your top 3 concerns about 'Innovation Accounting'? Now, draft an email from the Head of Innovation that addresses those concerns proactively.' It helps you get ahead of the curve.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an Innovation Capability Specialist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 9 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an Innovation Capability Specialist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
