Six units

One unit for each idea that matters.

  1. Conversations · about 8 minutes

    Unit 1: The three value conversations

    Value is agreed before commit, measured after handover and revisited at the review, and each is a different conversation with a different question at its centre.

  2. Value map · about 7 minutes

    Unit 2: One line from ambition to value

    Six items, six columns, one page: the ambition each item serves, the need with no tool in it, the gate, the range, the owner and the state of the evidence.

  3. Leak map · about 7 minutes

    Unit 3: Where value leaks

    Six leaks, one per gate, and the difference between a systemic fix and a person standing in a leak.

  4. Attention · about 7 minutes

    Unit 4: Where attention goes

    Four boxes, value against attention, and three routing rules written before the next request arrives.

  5. Ledger · about 7 minutes

    Unit 5: The evidence ledger

    Unit and baseline first, measured kept apart from estimated, and avoided cost written only beside the spend it offsets.

  6. Rhythm · about 6 minutes

    Unit 6: Three moves and seven questions

    The thirty-day plan of three moves and the monthly review of seven questions that keep the conversations alive between the fixed points.

  7. Final knowledge check · about 10 minutes

    Final knowledge check and certificate

    Ten easy questions across all six units, open once all six are complete. Seven correct passes it, and the Generate certificate button appears: your AI Value Associate certificate of completion and digital badge, drawn on your device with your name, ready for LinkedIn.
