Test the capability model before full certification.
A DEX Enterprise Pilot lets your company evaluate capability evidence within a defined workforce segment, function, site, region, leadership layer, role family, business unit, or operating challenge.
A controlled starting point for serious buyers.
Full company certification may be the right long-term path, but many enterprise buyers need a defined starting point before committing to broader participation. A pilot allows leadership to see how DEX works within a real part of the business.
A pilot is not a shortcut to certification. It is a bounded evidence exercise that lets a company test the DEX capability proof model before deciding whether to expand toward company certification.
A pilot can help answer:
Start with the part of the business where evidence matters most.
A pilot should be narrow enough to manage well and broad enough to generate meaningful evidence.
Hiring-risk pilot
For companies that want stronger evidence before hiring into important roles.
Internal mobility pilot
For companies deciding who can move into larger scope, new functions, or higher responsibility.
Leadership-layer pilot
For companies assessing whether managers convert capability into execution.
Function or department pilot
For companies that want a deeper view of one team, department, role family, or capability cluster.
Expansion-readiness pilot
For companies preparing to enter a new market, region, service line, or operating model.
AI-era capability pilot
For companies testing whether people, managers, and workflows can adapt as tools, information flows, and decision conditions change.
Capability concentration pilot
For companies concerned that execution depends too heavily on a small number of high performers.
Structured findings, not guesswork.
A DEX Enterprise Pilot may produce structured reports to support the company's internal decision-making and certification pathway planning. Reports support decision-making. They do not guarantee business outcomes.
How the process works
Request pilot
The company submits a pilot inquiry.
Fit review
DEX reviews whether the company has a real capability question. Pilots should be deferred where the company only wants a badge.
Scope definition
DEX and the company define the participant group, business problem, capability question, timeline, decision owner, and evidence boundaries.
Evidence collection and analysis
DEX reviews evidence against the pilot objective and company context.
Pilot report and next decision
The company receives a structured report and certification-path recommendation. The company may then proceed, expand, address gaps, or stop.
A pilot is useful because its limits are clear.
Pilot safeguards may include defined scope, participant communication, employee-data boundaries, confidentiality expectations, minimum reporting thresholds where feedback is collected, no automatic company certification, and no public certification claim unless certification is formally granted.
