Our Approach

Method8 provides a people-centric assurance, improvement and workforce engagement capability powered by our proprietary, learning-science-based methodology and our AI-enabled platform. Our approach gives leaders a frictionless capability to easily activate and engage teams, build shared understanding and alignment, and proactively identify and close gaps in standards, practices, and performance.

Grounded in proven learning science

Method8’s approach is underpinned by the principles of formative assessment and team-based learning, delivering a new and far more engaging way to deliver assurance, learning, and improvement.

Formative assessment is a learning process that monitors understanding, provides feedback, and identifies improvements. Team-based learning enables people to learn and improve together through structured collaboration. Both concepts are backed by decades of research and proven practice.

Our Process - How it works

Method8 provides customers with an on-demand assurance and improvement capability. Our practitioners support customers to run targeted engagement and assurance whenever needed. When undertaking a new assessment, our process follows three steps:

Step 1

Aspire

Our practitioner supports customers to define the outcomes expected and translate this into a formative assessment that can be deployed across an organization. Objectives include:

  • Defining success outcomes and measures.
  • Defining the audience.
  • Defining learning outcomes.
  • Defining the design of the assessment.
  • Building the assessment and publishing it ready for deployment.
Step 2

Assess

Our practitioner supports customers to deploy their formative assessment in their organization—this could be to one individual, one team, or multiple teams. Objectives include:

  • Assignment and deployment of a formative assessment.
  • Individuals or teams take the assessment—learning, collaborating and identifying gaps and opportunities and creating actions.
  • Clear measures are agreed: This might include measures of understanding, alignment, compliance or performance.
Step 3

Act

Our practitioner supports customers to review the results of formative assessments, leverage AI to generate insight and take actions to close gaps and improve. Objectives include:

  • Review of formative assessment insights. Use of our agentic AI to identify enterprise-level insights.
  • Customers take proactive action to reduce risk and improve performance.

Impact that strengthens traditional assurance

Method8 complements your traditional assurance—making it more effective and efficient while delivering a continuous improvement process that drives targeted workforce engagement, assurance, learning and gap closure at scale.

Traditional Assurance

Necessary, but not necessarily engaging or efficient

  • Done to your workforce—Culturally, "Us and Them”
  • Compliance, individual-driven, audit and survey based.
  • Periodic insight—'flying blind' between audit cycles.
  • Not designed to drive workforce empowerment and learning.
  • Difficult, distracting and costly to test risks at scale.

Method8

Targeted, engaging, effective and efficient

  • Done by your workforce—Culturally, "We are accountable"
  • Proactive, team-driven, formative assessment based
  • Continuous assessment and AI-enabled insight and gap closure
  • Builds understanding, capability and ownership in the workforce
  • Easy, integrated and inexpensive to assess for gaps at scale
