An analyst who can’t speak the language of decisions sounds like a visitor from another planet. He has the data in hand, he has the analysis, he has the conclusions, he just doesn’t have the influence.

This training teaches how to translate data into a story that convinces business. We show you what storytelling is and isn’t – it’s not about talking, reporting on tables or charts, but about building a narrative that carries an idea. You will learn how to construct an analytical story: in 3 minutes, using the Brent Dykes model or the “Big Idea” technique. You will create compelling stories for recommendations, reports, risk assessments, trend analyses and investment scenarios. You will refine your speaking style, word choice, visualization and logical narrative arc.

You stop speaking the incomprehensible language of models and algorithms. You start speaking the persuasive language of business decisions. This is not public speaking training. This is training in the art of translating data into decisions.

How do we conduct workshops?

We work with a group of up to 15 people. Otherwise it would be a lecture. We provide the minimum necessary knowledge and the maximum possible practice.

At our workshops, you don’t need to take notes on anything. We provide a comprehensive workbook. The manual contains everything that was covered at the workshop. We want the participant to focus on participation. Not by taking notes.

What methods do we use during the workshop?

Design Learning – a designed experience in which knowledge is discovered through experiment, experience. Not from a lecture.

Case Clash – involves clashing teams in solving real-world challenges. Teams work under pressure of time and results. Just like in real life.

Reality Rehearsal – this is an intensive “trial rehearsal ” that, through “dry-run” and “mock-up” techniques, tests the resilience of ideas developed by trainees.

MindQuest – we use a dynamic game of questions that leads participants through five realms of knowledge to a master decision.

Verdict Lab – Participants select their concepts and solutions in a process modeled on the Anglo-Saxon courtroom proceedings.

LIVE scenario games – we use scenarios based on real-life situations in games and simulations. Our games include hot negotiations, crisis situations. There are failures, escalations. Every decision is followed by another dilemma.

Storytelling 3.0 – all our training projects are based on a selected, real-life and highly inspiring story, the analysis of which helps participants discover key mechanisms, hidden paradigms and non-obvious solutions.
