The Rethinking Data workshop series helps you improve your decision-making.

All of our courses are available in either a virtual or in-person format.

Keynotes (90-120 minutes)

Managing Your Story – Leaders don’t manage data. They manage the story of their business. The workshop teaches leaders how to 1) Define the story that they manage, 2) Understand their story using data, 3) Keep themselves and their teams focused on the story in conversation and presentations.

Becoming Decision-driven – Data-driven companies focus on numbers. Decision-driven companies focus on turning numbers into action. This workshop introduces a shift from focusing on data to focusing on decisions.
Focusing on data is certainly important. Organizations cannot be decision-driven without first being data-driven. However, data-driven organizations often focus in the wrong place. They spend most of their time talking about the data. That leaves little time to think about what to do about it.

Workshops (4-8 hours)

Rethinking Data – Rethinking Data is about making better and faster decisions. This is not a number crunching course. It’s about ensuring that you are getting the most value from your data and analysis. This workshop provides tools and techniques for 1) aligning data and decisions, 2) creating high-impact, actionable reports, 3) developing simple, data-driven business stories, 4) Communicating simple, clear messages and conclusions

Sharpening Your Point – This workshop provides tools and techniques to simplify your communication. The workshop is based on our “Five-Second Rule”. If a person can’t get your point within five seconds or less, it’s likely to be lost. The workshop will help your team communicate simply, clearly, and directly.
Our techniques can be applied across all forms of communication (spoken, written, presented).
