For your first 90 days in a new SA role

Don’t let your first 90 days happen to you.

Write your own probation rubric before week 1 — then walk away with the actual documents: a 4–6 page plan, a map of who really decides your probation, 13 calendar invites, and a mentor on the hook.

90 minutes to your plan; 90 days to use it.

page plan with your name on page 1

Most new hires let their first 90 days happen to them.

The rubric is invisible.

Your firm judges your probation against criteria nobody writes down.

The deciders are unnamed.

The people who decide whether you stay are never introduced — and silence is the default feedback.

The window doesn’t reset.

The conversations that decide year 2 happen because of how you showed up over twelve weeks.

How it works

Three steps, about 90 minutes

Self-paced · Ideally before day 1 · Then your calendar does the carrying

1

Diagnose & map

Segment your role and risk, then map the stakeholders who actually decide your outcome.

2

Build the plan

Turn it into a 4–6 page plan, 13 recurring calendar invites, and a mentor share email.

3

Carry the toolkit

On-demand prep for 1:1s, the probation conversation, and a CCMA-defensible evidence pack.

What you walk away with

Real documents, not motivation

4–6 page written 90-day plan (Word)

Stakeholder map of who decides your probation

13 calendar invites keyed to your start date

Share-with-mentor email draft

Probation evidence pack (Schedule 8 / CCMA-defensible)

Toolkit for 1:1s & the probation conversation

The new hires who become A-players do three things in their first 90 days the median hire doesn’t — a manager feedback loop by week 6, better questions, and staying top-of-mind for the people who staff the best work. This path sets all three up before week 1.

What it looks like when you own it

Illustrative — early access

The 90-day plan

“I walked into day 1 with a 4–6 page plan instead of a knot in my stomach. My manager asked who helped me write it.”
Associate, Sandton law firm

Who-decides map

“The stakeholder map was the part nobody tells you about. I finally knew who actually signs off my probation — and booked time with them in week 1.”
Audit senior, Big-4 (Cape Town)

Evidence pack

“When the probation conversation came, I had a dated evidence pack ready. It turned a nervous chat into a formality.”
Consultant, JHB advisory
