    <description><![CDATA[Most of the people a founder or senior manager talks to about their work have an interest in the outcome. Staff want reassurance. Investors want returns.

    <description><![CDATA[A workshop that ends with a list of actions nobody owns is not a useful workshop. It is a meeting with better stationery. The design choices that separate a productive session from an expensive one are not complicated, but they are easy to skip.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Most teams do not decide to become disorganised. They grow, they hire, they respond to immediate needs, and one day the reporting lines that made sense at fifteen people make no sense at forty.

    <description><![CDATA[Most consulting engagements are too broad.
