Alignment and validation
Map Workshop
A structured session to align participants around how finance is supposed to move, where the pathway is breaking down, and what needs to be validated next. The workshop is designed to clarify roles, handoffs, assumptions, and evidence priorities across the system.
What you receive
Shared pathway map
A common view of the pressure pathway across core system, financing channels, and last-mile delivery, including gates, dependencies, and handoffs.
Constraint set
A structured view of the most likely bottlenecks, including where assumptions differ across participants.
Evidence agenda
A prioritised proof pack with likely owners, follow-up needs, and a practical validation sequence.
Action priorities
Near-term next steps to unblock progress, refine the diagnosis, or prepare for deeper work.
Workshop notes
A concise record of agreed points, open questions, and follow-up responsibilities.

Finance, treasury, and budget
Procurement authority
National audit authority (where appropriate)

Formats
Remote
A 90–180 minute session focused on priority pathway segments and immediate alignment needs.
Half day
An in-person session covering the most material pathway segments, roles, and evidence priorities.
Full day
A fuller in-person mapping exercise across all three segments, with stronger validation and follow-up planning.
Scope
The Map Workshop is a structured alignment and validation exercise. It does not provide an audit opinion, legal advice, or forensic verification. Outputs reflect the pathway described and tested during the session, and specify what further evidence would be needed to confirm or revise the main hypotheses.
When to use it
Use when progress depends on getting the right actors aligned around the same pathway, pressure points, and next-step agenda — particularly where assumptions differ across finance, procurement, delivery, or partner institutions.
