Thinking Straight
ForManagers and specialists who make consequential calls under time pressure.
How to think clearly when the clock is running and you do not have all the facts. The one skill AI makes worth more, not less.
Phase 3 · The Vision
Corporate training
Six Primers, short enough to run inside a working day. Five Intensives, where a team gets good at something. Each one sits at a phase, so you can see what you are buying and what comes after it.
There are no photographs of client sessions on this site. Several engagements are confidential, and the rest belong to the people who were in the room.

Phase 3 · The Vision
ForTeams about to buy tooling, restructure or automate.
An honest look at where your team's week actually goes — what pays for itself and what quietly does not — before anyone decides what to automate.
Phase 2 · The Audit
ForAny team about to be handed a tool — and the managers handing it over.
What these tools really do, what they only appear to do, and why the wrong answers come out sounding so sure of themselves. Run it before the rollout, not after.
Phase 4 · The Engine
ForA team that has the tools and has not yet decided what to point them at.
A working session that sorts your team’s real tasks into three piles: hand over, help with, keep human. The reasons get written down, so they still make sense to whoever comes next.
Phase 2–4 · Audit into Engine
ForPeople using the tools daily, quietly unsure the output is good enough to send.
How to ask for what you actually want, and how to check what comes back. The difference between a draft that looks right and one you would put your name on.
Phase 4 · The Engine
ForA leadership team about to spend money on tooling.
The short version of the whole argument. What to stop, where the week goes, and which direction is worth buying tools for. Usually the one people book first.
Phase 1–3 · Reset, Audit, Vision
ForA leadership team deciding where AI goes across a whole operation.
Two days that end with a map of your operation: what to hand over, what to get help with, what to keep human — with the reasons written down and somebody's name against each.
Phase 4 · The Engine
ForWhoever has been handed the AI policy problem.
Rules for AI use, data handling and who answers for what — written so people will actually follow them. By someone who has sat on both sides of an audit, and built to hold up under the PDPA.
Phase 5 · The Operating System
ForManagers who carry real consequences and have nobody to hand the call to.
How to make and defend a decision when the information is incomplete and the consequences are real. Drawn from twenty years in a regulated industry.
Phase 3 · The Vision
ForLeadership teams who have added three initiatives this year and retired none.
A day spent deciding what to stop. Most improvement programmes add something. This one takes things away, which is usually the faster route to the same place.
Phase 1 · The Reset
ForLine managers who inherited people-management with a promotion.
How to coach your own people on their performance — how to run the conversation, what to ask, and the discipline of not solving it for them.
Phase 2 · The Audit
What it costs
Programmes run in-house at your site. Every Primer also runs online, for teams anywhere in Southeast Asia. The fees, the outlines and what people walk away able to do are all in the prospectus.
How it runs
Up to fifteen for a Primer and up to twenty for an Intensive. Both are working sessions rather than lectures, and above those numbers the exercises stop working. For a bigger group I would rather run it twice.
Both. Every Primer runs online as well as in a room, so a team anywhere in Southeast Asia can sit the same session at the same fee — two to three hours works across a time difference, and the exercises were built to run either way. Intensives are better in a room: the second day of a two-day programme depends on people talking to each other during the breaks.
Not for a Primer. Same session, same fee, no travel to pay for. Send me your own examples beforehand and they become the worked material, which matters more when I am not in the room. For an Intensive I would rather come to you, and travel is quoted separately.
Yes, and I would prefer to. Send me a handful of real situations from your operation beforehand and they become the worked examples. It costs nothing extra. It is the difference between a course people sat through and one they use on Monday.
Not as delivered directly by KR Consultancy. These programmes are unfunded and invoiced in full. Some of the same material is available funded through the partners who accredit and deliver it — ask and I will tell you which.
You get the participant materials for your team to keep and reuse internally, for as long as you like. The slides, the facilitator guide and the material underneath them stay mine, and are not licensed for you to run yourselves.
Three to four weeks is comfortable for a Primer and six for an Intensive, mostly because of the tailoring. Shorter than that is sometimes possible — ask rather than assume.
