Module 6 Overview & Assignment

Module 6: From Sprint to Marathon

Welcome to the Final Phase of the 100-Day Challenge. To ensure the final weeks of the 100-Day Sprint deliver a lasting impact, Coaches must pivot from “sprinting” to “system-building”. This module focuses on the critical weeks — from Week 12 to Week 15 — where you will guide your Team through the transition from a high-intensity pilot to a sustainable, institutionalised practice.

The Big Picture

The 100-Day Challenge is coming to a close, but the work is far from over. As you enter the final month, the focus shifts to data, storytelling, and institutionalising the “New Normal.” Your team has likely achieved significant breakthroughs, but these must be articulated clearly to secure future support. Over the next four weeks, you will secure the “Political Will” for Day 101 and formally hand over the baton to the permanent system.

Your Roadmap

Week 12: Preparing the Narrative and the Team

Focus: Synthesising results into a compelling story of change. As you enter the final month, the focus shifts to data and storytelling. Your team has likely achieved significant breakthroughs, but these must be articulated clearly to secure future support.

What you will do: Help the team move beyond raw data to describe how the lives of survivors have changed. Review the 100-day journey to identify critical bottlenecks and effective “workarounds”, ensuring the team feels confident in their results as the architects of a new way of working.

Key Outcome: A confident team ready to present a data-backed narrative of impact.

Week 13: Organising for Scale and Stakeholder Alignment

Focus: Securing the “Political Will” for Day 101. The Scale-up Workshop is not a graduation ceremony; it is a strategic business meeting. This week is dedicated to the logistics of influence.

What you will do: Work with the Challenge Strategist to ensure the right decision-makers are in the room. Help the team define what “scale-up” means for their specific focus area and finalise the venue and materials to reflect the professional gravity of the NSP mandates.

Key Outcome: Strategic invitations sent and the scale-up logic clearly defined.

Week 14: Facilitating the Scale-up Workshop

Focus: Institutionalising the “New Normal.” This is the climax of the 100-day journey. Your role as a facilitator is to bridge the gap between the Team’s innovation and the leaders’ authority.

What you will do: Facilitate a session focused on Sustainability. Provide a platform for the Team to present their evidence and for leadership to formally adopt successful innovations, while keeping the focus on hard commitments.

Key Outcome: A signed Sustainability Plan, clear ownership of new protocols, and leadership buy-in.

Week 15: Getting Ready for the Marathon

Focus: Handing over the baton to the permanent system. The “Sprint” is over, but the “Marathon” of long-term change begins now. Week 15 focuses on the transition to Day 101 reality.

What you will do: Facilitate the formal transfer of responsibility to ensure the “doers” have support from their permanent supervisors. Assist the Team and Strategist in reflecting on their growth, and document the process and lessons learned.

Key Outcome: Formal handover of responsibilities and a blueprint for system institutionalisation.

Your Action Checklist

To stay on schedule, please ensure the following steps are completed by the end of this module:

Refine the Narrative: Work with your team to finalise their data-backed story of change.

Secure Stakeholder Attendance: Confirm key decision-makers and leaders for the Scale-up Workshop.

Facilitate the Workshop: Successfully bridge the gap between the Team’s innovations and leadership’s authority to secure a signed Sustainability Plan.
