You don’t know what you don’t know — until you do.

Last week’s Kiah Academy Critical Writing workshop was a powerful reminder that great writing isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s a core capability.

It's also much more than grammar, sentence structure, and clear writing. It is the right message delivered logically and completely for your intended audience. It's definitely not what you were taught at school or university and the best part is that this capability can be taught.

We unpack how clear, concise, and purposeful writing can shift outcomes, cut through complexity, and add real value to teams and clients alike — and the shift in thinking is immediate.

🔹 Want to elevate your team’s writing game?

Let us show you how, part online, part face to face, in a day!

Dealing with disagreements isn’t just a commercial issue, we do it every day both at work and at home! Every time someone says ‘no’, it’s time to think about picking up the negotiator’s toolkit - understand why they said no, what are their issues of concern, and how can you address them to find common agreement?

Kiah’s ‘Insights’ series is part of our initiative to provide flexible options for teams to uplift their capability. Not everyone can commit to a 2- or 3-day intensive Masterclass, so we've split our larger courses into a series of 1-day Insight courses.

Do them all, pick just one, or take your team on a sequence of shorter courses most reflective of your capability needs.

Struggling to get things done when the path isn’t clear? Traditional project management can only take you so far, especially in complex, unpredictable environments. Success often means breaking from the norm and embracing the unknown - but how do you actually do this?

Even when we settle on a process that seems clear, for some reason it doesn’t unfold as planned.

It’s de rigueur to run performance-based contracts. Deliver the agreed performance, get paid. Don’t meet the performance standard, get paid less. Should make sense, but does it?

The status quo is yesterday’s answer to today’s problem. If we want the best possible public sector, we need more leaders questioning what has always been done. Not to seek consensus, but to challenge it.
