A pilot is the cleanest way to begin — a defined scope, measurable outcomes, and a clear governance structure before any larger commitment. InCoBAN designs pilots that produce real results and a credible case for scale.

01What a pilot is
Defined. Measurable. Built to Scale.
Every InCoBAN pilot starts with a clear brief: who is it for, what will it deliver, how will success be measured, and what does the governance structure look like. A pilot is not a loose trial — it is a structured engagement with defined inputs, outputs, and outcomes that build the evidence case for a broader rollout.
PILOT TYPE 01
Programme Pilot
Deploy a defined cohort of a C-Cube, CM2PM, or Workforce Mainstreaming programme within a bounded scope — a single institution, a specific project team, or a defined geography. Produces completion data, competency evidence, and a blueprint for scale.
Example scopes
C-Cube bootcamp for one engineering college — 40–80 students
CM2PM cohort for 10–15 site managers within a single EPC organisation
WFMS model for a defined workforce cohort within a contractor's labour pool
PILOT TYPE 02
Tool Deployment Pilot
Deploy the Competency Compass or Construction Scorecard for a defined group — a project team, a department, or a specific cohort. Produces baseline competency or maturity data, benchmarking analysis, and a development priorities report.
Example scopes
Competency Compass assessment for 20–50 professionals across a single business unit
Construction Scorecard for one project or programme of work
Maturity baseline for an organisation preparing for a capability improvement programme
PILOT TYPE 03
Research & Framework Pilot
Commission a sector benchmarking study, competency framework validation, or maturity model application within a specific organisational or geographic context. Produces structured data, analysis, and a validated research output that can inform policy or programme design.
Example scopes
Sector competency benchmarking study for a specific sub-sector or project type
Maturity model validation study for a regional or national infrastructure programme
Framework co-development for a government skilling or qualification initiative
02Pilot process
How We Design and Run a Pilot
01
Define scope and outcomes
Joint scoping session to define the cohort, the intervention, the timeline, and the success metrics. Nothing proceeds without a shared definition of what the pilot is trying to prove.
02
Set governance structure
Confirm partner roles, communication cadence, reporting structure, and access requirements. InCoBAN manages delivery accountability; partner manages internal logistics and access.
03
Deliver the pilot
InCoBAN executes the programme or tool deployment within the agreed scope. Progress is tracked against defined milestones and shared with the partner on the agreed cadence.
04
Report and recommend
A structured pilot report covering outcomes achieved, evidence gathered, gaps identified, and a clear recommendation on whether and how to scale — with the data to support the decision.
03What InCoBAN delivers
Every Pilot Produces These Outputs
Structured Scope Document
A written scope document covering objectives, cohort definition, delivery methodology, timeline, governance structure, and success metrics — agreed before engagement begins.
Participant Data and Evidence
Baseline and end-of-pilot competency or maturity data for every participant — structured, anonymised, and formatted for internal review and external reporting.
Progress Reporting
Regular progress updates on the agreed cadence — milestone completion, participant engagement, emerging issues, and actions taken. No surprises at the end.
Pilot Outcomes Report
A structured report covering what the pilot achieved against its objectives, the evidence gathered, identified gaps, and a clear recommendation on next steps — with all supporting data.
