Courses and Webinars
​
Alongside advisory work, we offer a small number of courses and webinars that support organisations in developing shared understanding and stronger decision-making in collections care.
​
These offerings focus on how organisations use tools for risk, projects, and emergency preparedness to support clear thinking and prioritisation under constraint. Tools and frameworks are taught in practical terms and applied within organisational contexts and decision-making responsibilities.

Decision-Making Under Constraint in Collections Care
Risk, Uncertainty, and Human Judgement in Collections Care
​
A senior-level course focused on professional judgement and decision-making in collections care, where resources are limited, responsibility is high, and ideal options often do not exist.
​
This course explores:
-
decision-making under uncertainty and constraint
-
prioritisation and ethical trade-offs
-
professional judgement in risk-informed decision-making
-
the relationship between collection risks, organisational risks, and organisational responsibility
-
how pressure, uncertainty, and team dynamics influence judgement and decision-making
​​
The course combines structured teaching with real collections-based scenarios, guided reflection, discussion, practical exercises, and case-based learning. Participants strengthen their professional judgement and develop practical approaches for making, communicating, and supporting difficult decisions when uncertainty is high, priorities compete, and organisational constraints mean there are no perfect solutions.
