WORKSHOPS

---

 At The Sherlock Lens, we design workshops for professionals who work in complex, regulated, and high-judgment environments — where understanding why matters just as much as knowing what.

We specialise in facilitated, scenario-driven workshops that translate complex standards, ethical requirements, and quality principles into practical, confident decision-making.

Our workshops are not generic training or compliance tick-boxes. It is learning that changes how people think, reason, and act.

We built our workshops on three principles:

🔍Clarity over complexity

We strip away unnecessary theory and focus on what professionals actually need to understand to apply concepts correctly in practice.

🧠Judgement & Application

Participants work through real-world scenarios, dilemmas, and case studies that mirror the decisions they face in their roles.

🤝Facilitation, Not Lecturing

Sessions are highly interactive and facilitated by an experienced professional who understands both the technical requirements and the realities of practice.

Workshops are tailored to your organisation, but typically fall into the following areas:

Professional Judgment & Decision-Making

• Applying standards in complex or ambiguous situations
• Identifying risk and unintended consequences 
• Making defensible, well-reasoned professional decisions
   

Ethics, Independence & Professional Conduct

• Moving beyond “rules” to ethical reasoning
• Navigating conflicts, threats, and safeguards
• Strengthening ethical culture and accountability
   

Quality & Risk Thinking

• Understanding quality beyond compliance
• Identifying root causes of recurring issues
• Embedding quality thinking into daily practice
   

Applying Standards in Practice

• Interpreting and applying complex technical requirements
• Bridging the gap between theory and execution
• Improving consistency and confidence across teams

To support focus, energy, and meaningful engagement, we offer workshops in structured, time-bound formats:

• Half-day or full-day workshops
• Virtual or in-person facilitation
• Single sessions or part of a learning series
• Partner, management, or team-level sessions

All workshops are designed to be high-impact without being overwhelming.

Our workshops are particularly suited to:

• Professional services firms
• Audit, accounting, and advisory teams
• Regulated or compliance-driven environments
• Leadership teams responsible for quality and risk
• Organisations seeking a more profound understanding, not surface-level training

Participants leave with:

• Greater confidence in applying complex requirements
• More decisive professional judgment and reasoning skills
• Improved quality awareness and risk sensitivity
• Shared language and understanding across teams
• Practical insights they can apply immediately

Every workshop is:

• Designed around your context, risks, and objectives
• Aligned with your standards, policies, and environment
• Facilitated by someone who understands both regulation and practice realities

If you are looking for professional learning that is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in real-world experience, we would be happy to explore whether a workshop is the right fit for you.
