LinkedInParticipant experiences
We'd been chasing data issues for years. After one day we had a heatmap and a roadmap the management team could immediately endorse.
Finally a session that doesn't get bogged down in technical details but genuinely focuses on business value and buy-in.
We now use the prioritisation framework for initiatives in every management team meeting.
From seven disconnected data projects to one coherent roadmap — in one day.
The stakeholder exercise at the end was what really moved us forward. How to sell a roadmap without jargon.
