Strategic Tools for Delivery and Impact

Behind every strategic outcome are practical tools that make it happen. 


Andy’s approach is powered by two proven frameworks: Delivery Intent Plans (DIPs) and Measures of Progress (MOPs).


These tools are not off-the-shelf templates - they are co-designed with your team to reflect your unique context and priorities. Together, they form a system that is intentional, adaptive and relentlessly focused on measurable results.


Delivery Intent Plans (DIPs): Building Curriculum That Delivers

DIPs transform each apprenticeship standard into a structured learning journey that connects classroom teaching with workplace application. They make planning strategic and collaborative, embedding compliance and impact into everyday practice.


DIPs help you achieve:


  • Higher achievement rates through structured progression from foundational to advanced KSBs
  • Greater employer engagement via co-designed, workplace-relevant training
  • Reduced funding risk through compliant, well-evidenced delivery.


How they work:


  • Clear end points aligned with assessment and job role expectations
  • Integration of prior learning to build confidence and competence
  • Dedicated time allocated for teaching, practice, assessment and gap-closing
  • Actively used in Tripartite Progress Reviews to co-plan workplace learning.


Measures of Progress (MOPs): Real-Time Insight for Responsive Delivery

MOPs provide frequent, focused checks on KSB mastery, giving leaders real-time visibility of progress and enabling timely interventions.


MOPs help you achieve:


  • Improved apprentice progress through early identification of gaps
  • Stronger assessment outcomes by mirroring methods from day one
  • Authentic learning evidence that strengthens portfolios and compliance.


How they work:


  • Track progress accurately from each apprentice’s starting point
  • Deliver timely interventions and personalised support
  • Adapt delivery dynamically to close gaps and reinforce learning
  • Capture workplace evidence and provide high-quality feedback.


Why It Matters for CEOs

DIPs and MOPs are not just operational tools - they deliver strategic outcomes:


  • Higher achievement rates
  • Stronger employer engagement
  • Reduced funding risk.
