What Each Tier Includes
Current CS Capability Review
The right starting point for every organization.
The review creates a shared view of how your current Customer Success practice operates and where further development would be most valuable. Selected stakeholders first complete an individual, methodology-based self-assessment. A facilitated cross-functional session then brings their perspectives together.
What it does:
- Consolidates cross-functional perspectives and surfaces material differences in perception.
- Identifies capability gaps, dependencies, and areas requiring attention.
- Helps the team agree its first practice-development priority.
- Explores methodology-based options for the next development step.
CS Practice Design Program
Five modules covering the core components of the Customer Success management practice.
The program is grounded in a purpose-built methodology that covers the full scope of management practice design, from governance to enablement.
Each module combines methodology training with facilitated design work. Participants apply the framework to their own organization, make the required decisions together, and develop the relevant management artifacts. Modules can be completed individually or combined into a broader practice design program.
Modules of the CS Practice Design Program:
Customer Success as a Cross-Functional Organizational Capability
Defines the purpose and scope of the CS practice, its organizational roles, cross-functional interfaces, accountabilities, and decision rights.
Establishing Value Architecture and Engagement Models
Connects customer segments and expected outcomes with product use cases, adoption requirements, Success Plans, and appropriate engagement models.
Guided Value Realization Setup
Structures lifecycle activities, cross-functional responsibilities, CS playbooks, and engagement cadences for guiding customers toward measurable outcomes.
Proactive Renewal Risk Management System
Establishes churn predictors, Customer Health Score logic, feedback loops, data-verification principles, and risk review and escalation mechanisms.
CS Team Enablement Program
Defines role-specific capability requirements and creates the foundations for structured onboarding, readiness evaluation, and continual team development.
Ongoing Practice Support
Available after at least one completed Practice Design Module.
Ongoing Practice Support helps your team continue applying the methodologies introduced through completed Practice Design Modules, maintain momentum, and strengthen its understanding as the practice develops.

Weekly Written Q&A
Written clarification of concepts, methods, criteria, and application questions related to the Practice Design Modules your team has completed.
Monthly CS Practice Review
A structured review of progress, emerging difficulties, dependencies, blockers, open methodology questions, and priorities for the next period.
