Ninety minutes that get your leadership team to the same read.
A straight read on one question that matters to the people who sign — delivered in ninety minutes, with no exercises, and followed by something short enough that they will actually read it.
Most executive disagreement is not about the answer. It is that three people are answering three different questions.
Two pages. It survives the meeting, and it is what gets forwarded to the person who was not there.
Both are outcomes. Neither is a workshop.
Who it is for
- Leadership groups of four to twelve. Bigger than that and it becomes a talk.
- Boards wanting a technology or AI read that is neither a sales pitch nor a status update.
- A CTO or CPO who needs their peers to arrive at a shared understanding before a planning cycle.
- Frequently the first thing an organisation books, and frequently free the first time.
The shape of it
- Format
- 90 minutes, on site or remote
- Shape
- Talk and discussion, no labs
- Group
- 4–12 decision-makers
- Follow-up
- A two-page written read
I hold a CTO seat day to day. That is the point: you are not being taught by someone describing a job they left, and the material is drawn from a job I am still doing.
What actually happens
Ninety minutes of talk and discussion, on one question you choose in advance — no exercises, no breakout groups, and a written read afterwards short enough that people actually finish it.
- Pick the question
Agreed in advance, in one sentence. “What does AI actually change about how we should be organised?” is a real one. “Tell us about AI” is not.
- Ninety minutes, straight
The honest version, including the parts that are uncertain. Executives are unusually good at spotting a hedge and unusually unforgiving about it.
- The argument in the room
Most of the value is the disagreement it surfaces between people who assumed they agreed.
- The written follow-up
Two pages within a few days: the question, the read, the disagreements that surfaced, and what a decision would need.
What you leave with
- A shared framing that survives the meeting.
- A two-page written read, circulable.
- A clear view of what the organisation would have to decide next, and who would decide it.
- Usually: a much better scoping conversation about everything else.
What it costs
Often no charge the first time for a named organisation, and €1,500 per session after that, excluding VAT. Priced per session, not per person — whether four people attend or twelve.
Is this the right thing for your team?
Thirty minutes. You describe what is going wrong; I tell you which of these actually fits, including when the answer is none of them.
