ACTIVATE System™

Put lessons to work on your own

The ACTIVATE System™ gives your team a six-step process to capture lessons learned and turn them into action while the work is still happening. You can run it on your own, without a guide like Nina, and Nina can coach you through it if you want support.

The ACTIVATE System™ is one of three ways CROSSING CHANGE helps organizations turn lessons learned into execution. See all three ways →

The Complete ACTIVATE System™ is $1,997, one-time. Templates start at $47. Files delivered immediately.

    A six-step process that turns your lessons learned into execution, continuously and independently — built directly from what Nina used with clients at IBM and as a federal practitioner, now updated to incorporate AI, thoroughly tested end-to-end, and peer reviewed by a PMP. It includes the ACTIVATE System™ Navigator, step-by-step tools, AI prompts, and a worked examples document.

    Questions before you buy

    The ACTIVATE System™ includes PDF guides, Word documents for each step, and an Excel Action Map. You receive the files immediately after purchase — no software to install, no accounts to create.

    It depends on your organization's pace. The six steps are designed to be worked through sequentially, but you don't have to complete them all at once. Most practitioners move through Steps 1–3 in a few focused sessions.
