Sample sponsor report
What a sponsor receives.
Every engagement closes with a written report to the sponsoring function. This sample uses illustrative figures for a fictional cohort so procurement and L&D teams can see the structure. It is not client data.

2. Measurement by Kirkpatrick level
- Level 1, Reaction: relevance pulse collected during delivery.
- Level 2, Learning: movement computed against the diagnostic baseline, as above.
- Level 3, Behaviour: observed in stakeholder-facing simulations; manager confirmation where the sponsor enables it.
- Level 4, Results: defined jointly at scoping. Attribution belongs to the client.
3. Individual observations (where authorised)
Participant A: strong gain in brevity and solution-first framing; hostile questioning still the weakest criterion. Participant B: ...
4. Recommended next-stage work
- Targeted practice on handling sceptical questioning for the lowest-scoring third of the cohort.
- A 60-day manager check-in to confirm behaviour at work.
- Repeat the baseline with the next promotion intake.
