Workshop, Training & IP

For owners who need people to work through a decision together, or to use a clearer shared approach afterwards.

Common reasons to run one:

• A decision affects several teams and they are reasoning from different assumptions.
• Governance exists on paper but nobody applies it consistently, because it was never explained in the terms the work actually uses.
• A team is being asked to assess vendor proposals or artificial intelligence (AI) tooling without a shared basis for judging them.
• One person holds the working knowledge of a platform, and that has become a risk everyone can see.

Important knowledge can remain with one person, while teams lack a practical way to assess the work in front of them. Training that explains a product rather than the decision it supports does not fix this. People leave able to describe a feature and still unable to judge whether it suits their situation.

Rory runs a focused working session built around a decision your organisation is actually facing, not a generic curriculum. The session works through that decision with the people who have to live with it, and the method is captured as it goes.

• Reusable material: the method, checklist or decision framework written down, in your language and about your systems.
• A shared basis for the next decision, so the same argument does not have to be held from the start each time.
• Where relevant, the record of the decision made in the session and the reasoning behind it.

The material is yours. It is written to be used without MDE in the room.

A real decision or problem to work on, and the people who own it. Sessions built around a hypothetical case produce material nobody refers to afterwards.

If what you need is product training on a specific Microsoft tool, vendor and partner training channels will serve you better and more cheaply. This is for the judgement around the tool, not the tool itself.
