ACTIONABLE PLAN

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between an envisaging workshop and solution design session?

An envisaging workshop is typically shorter and high-level, designed to be a first step on a data and analytics journey.  A solution design session is more in-depth, and you’ll walk away with a comprehensive action plan for implementing a solution that will help you achieve your goals.

While each workshop has value, they are even more impactful as a pair.  Many teams choose to participate in both sessions, starting with the envisaging workshop and adding solution design when they are ready to move their project forward.  Together, they help your team understand the strategic power of data analytics and the tangible long-term benefits that come with it.  They’re also a way for Datamine to better understand your team, your project and your business.

Who should attend these sessions?

Our workshops are designed for teams, including heads of departments and C-suite executives.  It’s most effective when leaders accountable for commercial outcomes are involved in the session.

How many participants can attend?

The number of participants varies, depending on the team or teams involved in your data project.  We can accommodate both small groups and larger teams, adjusting the format and duration of the workshop to suit the size and scope of the challenge.

What is the typical duration of a session?

They are typically half-day or full-day sessions.  However, if your issues are particularly complex or you have a large number of participants, we may need to extend the process. Of course, timing also depends on your availability. 

Where are these sessions held?

We conduct workshops at various locations throughout New Zealand and Australia, choosing venues based on space, location, privacy and the logistical needs of all our participants.  

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on a few factors such as the venue, size of the team, and the complexity of the session.
