Before you commission training, find out whether training will fix the problem at all. Mythoclast is a structured diagnostic engagement, run by our consultants and backed by our gap-analysis software. It works out what is really holding performance back, and whether learning is the answer or something else is.
The method draws on Gilbert's Behaviour Engineering Model (Chevalier, 2003) and Cathy Moore's Action Mapping (Moore, 2017).
Diagnosis before
prescription.
Mythoclast works like an investigation: it separates symptoms from causes, so you know where an intervention will actually make a difference.
Before anything is committed, Mythoclast helps establish whether there's a real, diagnosable problem. A structured discovery surfaces the presenting issue, who's affected, and the early hypotheses about where the real problem actually sits.
The diagnostic question is sharpened into something precise and answerable. The populations in scope, the stakeholders who matter, and the assumptions being made are all set down on the record. Everyone is agreed on what's being diagnosed before the work begins.
Evidence is gathered from more than one angle: documentation, surveys, interviews, and direct observation. Each source is shaped by what the last one revealed. Triangulating across sources is what separates a genuine diagnosis from an opinion dressed up as one.
The evidence is synthesised into a clear, evidence-graded diagnosis: what the problem is, how confident we are in each finding, and a direct recommendation on whether training is the answer - and if so, exactly what it needs to address. This is what hands off to Athelion when learning is the right next step.
Mythoclast doesn't produce a single score. It produces a set of connected artefacts, each graded by the strength of its evidence and traceable to the reasoning behind it, so the record holds up when a decision is questioned months later.
A crisp articulation of what the diagnostic is actually trying to answer. The agreed starting point everything else is measured against.
A document capturing the presenting problem, who's in scope, what's excluded, and the key assumptions, protecting both sides if questions are asked later.
Every conclusion carries an honest grade for the strength of evidence behind it, so you know exactly how much weight each finding can bear.
A direct answer on whether training is required and what it must address, or, just as valuably, the case for why a different intervention is the right call.
