In this episode, Corey sits down with 5App CEO Philip Huthwaite to answer the most practical question yet: if Helix sounds interesting, how do you actually get started?

After exploring the challenges facing L&D, who Helix is for, and how learning partners use skills intelligence to differentiate, this conversation focuses on implementation. What does a pilot look like? How quickly do you see value? And what do you actually get at the end of it?

Helix is 5App’s AI Skills Intelligence platform. It measures how skills show up in real workplace conversations, giving organisations visibility beyond completions and surveys. Instead of asking whether people enjoyed a course, Helix shows whether behaviours are changing in day to day work.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why almost every organisation starts with a focused pilot
• How direct customers test Helix against their own competency frameworks, such as first-time manager programmes
• How learning partners pilot Helix around their own methodologies and use it to evidence behaviour change between sessions
• What kind of data and dashboards you receive at the end of a pilot
• How quickly individuals begin to see value, often from the very first meeting

Philip explains how Helix establishes a baseline, tracks growth over weeks rather than months, and provides tangible proof of skill development. Whether you are an HR leader looking to justify L&D spend or a learning partner wanting data-driven differentiation, the pilot is designed to prove impact quickly and with minimal risk.

If you are wondering whether skills intelligence could work in your world, this episode shows you exactly what the first step looks like.
