01Founding programme

Be among the first organizations to measure their First Hour readiness.

Early access to a proprietary executive readiness system.

The programme

First Hour is entering its founding organization phase.

Twenty organizations will work directly with the creator of the ACTIVE™ Crisis Leadership Framework to measure their first-hour readiness, receive executive intelligence, and influence how the system develops.

This is not a discounted beta. It is early access to a proprietary executive readiness system, with the access and influence that comes with being first.

  • Assess your organization's crisis readiness against the ACTIVE™ framework
  • Receive executive intelligence written for board and C-suite consumption
  • Help shape the platform's roadmap through structured founding feedback
  • Contribute to the development of real-world benchmarks, where appropriately consented
  • Access founding pricing across the First Hour product ladder
