We teach your engineers, analysts and consultants to work as FDEs, on cases from your own business. The FDE Gym scores each person before and after.
How a cohort runs
01 · Your people
A few of your people already work like FDEs.
02 · The demand
Your clients and teams want more FDEs than you have.
03 · Select
Each nominee spends an hour in the FDE Gym. The top scores make the cohort.
04 · Learn
Practitioners teach the cohort in pods of three.
05 · Build
Each pod builds a tool for a case from your work. Your practice lead plays the client.
06 · Review
A practitioner reviews each pod’s build every week.
07 · Prove
The gym scores the cohort again, so you see how each person changed.
08 · Back to work
They go back to their teams and do FDE work. The next cohort can start next quarter.
Format
The standard plan is 12 three-hour sessions over six weeks, online or in person.
We change it to fit your firm.
Weekly build reviews start in week three.
The cohort ends with a panel, where each pod presents its build.
Each pod has one strategist and two builders.
Strategist track
Works out what to build
For consultants, analysts, BI and operations staff.
Builder track
Builds it and hands it over
For engineers and data scientists.
The cases come from your own work.
You name two or three problems from your business. We turn each one into a gym case with a brief, a sandbox, hidden tests and a script for the practice lead.
The data is synthetic, so your client data stays with you.
