Workshops · executive briefings · speaking

Make the evidence land.

Practical work for analysts, data teams and leaders who are producing more reporting than ever—and still struggling to create a clear decision.

Three ways to bring the method into the room

Built around real evidence, not decorative examples.

01 / TEAM WORKSHOP

From dashboard to decision

A practical session using one of your team’s live insights. Participants learn how to define the audience, isolate the signal, make the stakes human and end with a specific ask.

  • Half-day or full-day format
  • Best for 6–20 participants
  • Uses your own reporting challenge
  • Each participant leaves with a completed Canvas
02 / EXECUTIVE SESSION

Nobody listens to your data until you make them

A provocative briefing for senior leaders on why technically correct reporting fails—and what leaders can do to create fewer rituals and better decisions.

  • 45–90 minutes
  • Leadership teams and offsites
  • Tailored to your reporting context
  • Includes practical discussion prompts
03 / LIVE ADVISORY

Make this one decision land

Focused support for a high-stakes paper, board discussion, investment case, risk narrative or transformation decision where the evidence must travel clearly.

  • Audience and decision definition
  • Evidence and narrative review
  • Challenge and rehearsal
  • Clear recommendation and call to action

What changes

From accurate reporting to useful movement.

The aim is not to turn analysts into performers. It is to help capable people carry meaning across the gap between evidence and action.

A sharper signalLess evidence, better chosen.
A real audienceBuilt around what the decision-maker needs to cross.
Human stakesTime, cost, quality, risk and consequence.
A specific askWho must do what, by when, and why.

A strong fit when…

  • Your dashboards are technically sound but rarely change decisions.
  • Teams present every fact because nobody agrees which fact matters.
  • Senior leaders ask for “the so what?” after every update.
  • A risk, investment or transformation decision needs a clearer story.

Not a strong fit when…

  • You only want software training or visual-design tuition.
  • The answer has already been decided and the session is expected to manufacture consent.
  • Nobody in the room owns a genuine decision or action.
  • The organisation is unwilling to acknowledge trade-offs or uncomfortable evidence.
