Pilot program

From initial concept to scalable learning environment

Validate the target group, program, space, technology, and facilitation in a focused pilot before deciding on continuation or scaling.

Learn with purpose before scaling

A pilot makes assumptions testable

A pilot is not a scaled-down final solution. It is a controlled way to examine decisions about content, technology, and organization together.

Target group & learning goal

Who is the environment for, and which experience, development goal, or orientation is central?

Program & scenario

Which assignments, roles, and learning formats fit the objective and available time?

Configuration & space

Which combination of stations, visualization, and facilities fits the location and intended use?

Facilitation & evaluation

Who facilitates participants, and which observations or indicators are needed to make a decision?

From intake to evaluation

What a pilot includes

The exact setup differs by organization. The components below form the integrated foundation of the pilot process.

01

Intake

Jointly explore objectives, target group, context, and requirements.

02

Program design

Develop scenarios, roles, modules, and the facilitation approach.

03

Pilot setup

Configure an appropriate combination of technology, layout, and software.

04

Facilitator preparation

Familiarize teachers, coaches, or instructors with the program and its operation.

05

First delivery

Deliver the pilot in a controlled manner with a predefined target group.

06

Evaluation

Review feedback, observations, and potential next steps in a structured way.

Guided pilot in a mission-control environment

Cross-sector approach

One approach, tailored to your context

The methodology remains consistent, while objectives, participants, scenarios, and facilitation differ between Defense and education.

A controlled process

From exploration to decision

Each phase reduces uncertainty and prepares the next step. The detailed schedule is determined after the exploration phase.

  1. 1

    Introduction

    Explore the challenge, target group, and desired outcome.

  2. 2

    Feasibility

    Assess space, technology, scheduling, and requirements.

  3. 3

    Design

    Define the program, configuration, and evaluation plan.

  4. 4

    Preparation

    Configure and test the environment and prepare facilitators.

  5. 5

    Delivery

    Complete the agreed activities in a controlled manner.

  6. 6

    Evaluation & recommendations

    Translate findings into a decision on next steps.

Clear in advance, useful afterward

Measure what was agreed in advance

Indicators, sources, and evaluation points are linked to the pilot objective before delivery. No outcomes are assumed or published without verifiable context.

Reach

Target groups reached and participation in pilot activities.

Participation

Usage sessions, completed modules, and planned contact time.

Technical availability

Availability and usability of the selected pilot setup.

Feedback

Observations from participants, facilitators, and program leaders.

Continued interest

Interest in follow-up activities, adjustments, or continued development.

From insight to focused growth

A strong foundation for the next step

After the pilot, your organization has clear, substantiated insights for developing a Mission Lab aligned with your target group, ambitions, and operating context.

Validated foundation

A clear, shared understanding of the target group, objectives, use, and requirements as the foundation for successful implementation.

Concrete improvements

Practical insights to further strengthen the program, facilitation, and configuration.

Path to implementation

A substantiated follow-up plan with clear priorities for continued development, implementation, and potential scaling.

An approach that fits

Tailored delivery with a clear perspective

Together, we translate your objectives and context into a realistic, achievable pilot designed for future growth.

Tailored scheduling

Scheduling and phases are aligned with your location, participants, objectives, and available preparation time.

Appropriate configuration

Stations, modules, and support are configured around your target group and intended use.

Insight that provides direction

The pilot provides a clear view of opportunities, considerations, and next steps, enabling your organization to invest confidently in further development.
