Course overview
How many times have you heard this....
“Thats not what I wanted”
“But thats what you asked for!”
If this sounds familiar, then chances are you or your team may be struggling with some or all of the following:
🚩 Your stakeholders and your data team seem to be speaking VERY different languages.
🚩 Gathering data requirements takes too long.
🚩 The process of gathering data requirements is not fun for you or your stakeholders.
🚩 Your stakeholders needs and your data requirements are full of ambiguity (no matter how hard you try).
🚩 Your data team cannot work out what to build from the data requirements you capture.
🚩 Your data requirements are full of the what, but not the why.
🚩 You capture screeds of detailed data requirements that are never used.
What if I told you, that in 1 x 5-hour masterclass, we'd be able to help you transform the way you operate, so that you:
✨ Become the data universal translator 🖖🏽 in your organisation, consistently applying a shared language that everyone understands, regardless of their role or technical fluency.

✨ Empower data teams with everything that they need to build; without drowning them in detail that that distracts them into oblivion.
✨ Create trust within your stakeholders as someone who can capture data requirements that enable critical business decisions. People know that you're excellent at identifying what's important and being able to figure out what is just noise.
In this masterclass you'll learn learn how to solve these problems by using the Information Product Canvas pattern to gather data requirements in 30 minutes or less, using a shared language. Enrol now and get ready to make some magic. ✨

What you’ll learn from this course
The literal blueprint for capturing data requirements from your stakeholders in 30 minutes
Which your data team can deliver in days or weeks.
Learn to talk a shared data requirements language that both your stakeholders and your data teams can understand
No more trying to convert “I want to understand the total value of orders last year” into “Dim Order, Dim Time, Daily Order Value Fact” in your head or writing two different requirements docs.
Visually collaborate with your stakeholders, validating their requirements as you capture them
Learn how to fill out the Information Product Canvas in front of your stakeholders, so they can validate their requirements as you capture them.
You'll never need to send a document that sits in their inbox and only gets reviewed at the last minute (or not at all) ever again.
Help prioritise what's important - in a way that stakeholders can understand and evaluate at a glance
Create data requirements stakeholders can understand at a glance and use to compare the different investment options, before they prioritise them.
Stronger, transparent evaluation criteria = data-based prioritisation decisions.
Capture both the what and the why
Learn how to elicit and capture the actions and outcomes the stakeholders want to achieve with the data they are requesting.
Move from being a data "order taker" to becoming a trusted analyst, data product owner or data leader who can help achieve meaningful business outcomes.
Learn a pattern you can teach the rest of your data team, so they can do the data work with you.
Don’t continue to be the bottleneck in the process, or continuously working months in advance of your team so you aren’t. Working together to solve problems is so much more fun!
Feel the rush of delivering value often and early
Learn a great way to gather data requirements by defining them in small chunks, then delivering the Information Products to your consumers as you go. Rinse and repeat!
No more putting in the hard effort upfront and never getting to see the results.

I really enjoy helping others succeed in data and analytics.
After all, what good is having more than 30 years experience in the domain if you can't share it with others - who often go on to do even more amazing things and innovate in our field.
I've spent well over a decade coaching data and analytics teams on how to combine agile, product and data patterns to craft their own ways of working.
