THE MULTIPLY METHOD™

Four steps that turn traininginto measurable impact

Predict whether training will work. Prime the environment before it starts. Perform with sustained support after. Prove the business impact with real data.

The Multiply 4P Method: Predict, Prime, Perform, Prove
1
Pre-training diagnostic

Predict

Will training solve this problem?

Before any training investment, Multiply runs a diagnostic that assesses organisational readiness for learning transfer. A structured intake captures the Action-Object-Error/Standard for the performance gap, then surveys are sent to supervisors and employees. A scoring engine analyses responses and produces a Go/No-Go recommendation.

Train to Win

Environment is ready. Proceed with training.

Enable then Train

Barriers exist. Address them first, then train.

Fix to Perform

Not a training problem. Non-training interventions needed.

Key Touchpoints

L&D / Stakeholder
  • Structured intake form in Slack (performance issue, audience, gap, KPI)
  • Supervisor and employee diagnostic surveys
  • Go/No-Go recommendation with strategy

Metrics Captured

Predicted Transfer Rate

Likelihood training will transfer based on readiness signals

Readiness Scores

Multi-dimensional assessment across environment, motivation, and capability

The Value

Prevents wasted L&D investment on training that was never going to work. Three possible outcomes: ready to proceed, barriers to address first, or a clear signal that training is not the answer.
