How it works
How High Growth Playbooks works
Four steps, from sign-up to your people learning inside Teams.
01
Choose your Playbooks
Choose a Playbook to cover a strategically important area of your business. You can license an individual Playbook, or a complete Library for joined-up capability across a whole function.
02
Connect in minutes
Share your Azure ID, and your adminstrator gets immediate access. No complex integration, no new systems to learn no IT project. Everything works inside your Azure environment with SSO.
03
Allocate to your people
Your administrator assigns each person to the right Playbook. Each person gets the version built for them: same core content, right depth, right angle but customised for their role and seniority.
04
Learning inside Teams
Your people access their Playbooks directly through Microsoft Teams, pinned to their sidebar, ready when they need it. No separate login, no new platform to learn.
The Learning Experience
What the learning actually looks like
Because every Playbook is structured the same way, your people always know what to expect, and your organisation builds consistent capability across every function.
Role targeted learning
Layers
Each Playbook is written for up to eight distinct audience Layers. The core message is the same; the depth, angle and application are tailored to each role.

Focused units of learning
Playbooks, Modules & Steps
Each Playbook is built the same way.
Each Playbook is organised into Modules and each Module is broken into Steps: short, focused units of learning that can be completed in a single sitting.
Each Step follows the HGP Learning Model, a structure built around the principle that real behavioural change requires more than knowledge. Each Step moves from knowledge, through engagement, understanding, and application, with reflection and interactive content built in throughout.
Three types of Step
Snippet
5-10 minutes
A focused warm-up that surfaces key ideas before the main content, framing the challenge, activating prior knowledge, setting the context.
Core
15-20 minutes
The main learning event. Frameworks, tools, and models delivered in depth, the content that changes how people think and act.
Focus
~ 15 minutes
Structured practice and application. Learners apply what they've covered to real situations, consolidating the shift from knowledge to behaviour.
Rich, interactive content
Video
Short, expert-led clips that explain and illustrate key concepts.
Quizzes
Knowledge checks that reinforce learning and surface gaps.
Flashcards
Recall tools for frameworks, models and key terms.
Scenarios
Custom scenarios are used extensively to engage people.
Pulse surveys
Quick mini-surveys built into the learning to give you on-demand metrics.
FAQs & links

The Foundation
Built on the HGP Framework
Every Playbook in every Library is built on the HGP Framework, our proprietary, research-grounded model for how high growth businesses operate well across every function.
The HGP Framework is not a single model. It's a family of Library-level Framework Models, each developed over years of research and practitioner experience, covering every functional area of the business from Strategy and Leadership to Performance Management, Culture, and Growth.
Within each Library Framework, a set of focused mini-models addresses the specific topics that matter most. In Performance Management, for example, the Framework includes dedicated models for Goals, Feedback, and the CPMOS, the HGP Continuous Performance Management Operating System that defines the full annual cycle of conversations, check-ins and reviews.
This means every Playbook, regardless of the Library, audience, or topic, uses consistent language, consistent models, and consistent standards.
Research-grounded
Every Framework Model draws on numerous academic papers and expert sources, shaped by experienced practitioners into content that is both defensible and directly applicable.
Consistent across every Playbook
Shared language, shared models, shared standards across all twelve Libraries, all eight audience Layers, and all 100+ Playbooks.
Maintained as knowledge evolves
The Framework is a living system. As research develops and business practice advances, the models are reviewed and updated to stay current.
Built to last
A platform your organisation uses again and again
High Growth Playbooks is not a one-off training event. It is a permanent capability resource that grows in value the longer you use it.
The same Playbook that onboards a new line manager today becomes the resource for an employee stepping up into their first line manager role tomorrow. When someone joins your business they access the Layer that is right for their starting point. When they are prompted, they move to the next Layer, accessing deeper content built for where they are now, grounded in the same consistent message built specifically for high growth.
As your business grows and your teams evolve, the platform grows with you. New starters are added. Roles change. Playbooks are reallocated, without rebuilding your learning infrastructure from scratch.
New starters
Every new hire accesses the right Playbooks for their role from day one, with onboarding capability that is consistent, structured, and immediately useful.
Promotions and role changes
When someone steps up, they move to the next layer, accessing deeper content, broader responsibility, and the same consistent frameworks.
Ongoing reference
Playbooks are not completed and forgotten. They are a resource your people return to before a difficult conversation, a planning cycle or a restructure.
Recurrent need training
Use Playbooks to easily manage your employees' repeating cycles of quarterly or annual training needs.
Administration
Simple to manage.
Easy to scale.
Your administrator, typically your HRD or a delegated team member, manages everything from a simple admin area. No technical expertise required.
Allocate Playbooks
Assign individuals to the right Playbooks and the right Layer for their role. Allocate by team, cohort, or individual, whatever fits your structure.
Monitor engagement
See who is accessing their Playbooks, how far they have progressed, and where engagement is strong or needs attention.
Manage your people
Add new users as your team grows, reallocate Playbooks when roles change, and remove leavers, all in a few clicks.
Seamless Teams integration
Because High Growth Playbooks lives inside Microsoft Teams, there's no separate login, no additional IT setup, and nothing new for your people to learn.
