FinOps training and workshops
Four workshop shapes, all bespoke underneath.
This is for organisations looking to lift FinOps capability across a team or function, whether the goal is raising a cohort’s awareness and skillset, briefing your executive group, or running bespoke workshops shaped to a particular operating model.
I’m a FinOps Foundation Certified Instructor and the author of the Maturity Assessment methodology. Workshops are shaped by two decades of running this work inside real organisations.
- 4 Workshop shapes Each one rebuilt around your estate, your maturity, and the room.
- 30 min Free scoping call Every workshop starts here, including the custom ones.
- 3,000+ Practitioners trained Since 2019, at a sustained 95 per cent exam pass rate.
Workshops
Four shapes I run most often. Each is bespoke underneath: the agenda is tightened around your cloud estate, your maturity, and the audience in the room. Every workshop begins with a free 30-minute scoping call. If none of these fit, the same conversation is the right starting point for a custom programme.
FinOps Foundations
For platform, finance, or engineering teams in their first year of FinOps.
You leave with: a shared vocabulary across finance and engineering, a phased 90-day plan, and the three KPIs worth tracking from week one.
Up to 20 attendees.
Book a scoping callPractitioner Bootcamp
For people doing the FinOps work day-to-day. Bring your own cloud bill.
You leave with: a tagging audit on your real data, a rate-optimisation shortlist sized in cash, and one anomaly-detection workflow set up and tested before you leave the room.
Capped at 12. Two facilitators if the cohort is mixed-cloud.
Book a scoping callExecutive Briefing
For CTOs, CFOs, and their direct reports. No laptops.
You leave with: a defensible answer to “is our cloud spend reasonable?”, a one-page governance model, and three questions to put to your FinOps lead next quarter.
Up to 10 attendees.
Book a scoping callCloud Unit Economics
For FinOps teams and finance partners ready to move past the cost conversation.
You leave with: the unit metric that matters most for your business defined and agreed, the data pipeline needed to track it scoped, and a first-cut unit-economics dashboard built in the room.
Up to 16 attendees. Best when engineering and finance leads attend together.
Book a scoping callLogistics common to all four. Delivered in person across the UK and Ireland; remote delivery in any time zone within four hours of GMT. On-site travel is quoted at cost. Materials, recorded read-outs (remote delivery only), and a short written follow-up are included in the standard fee.
Not on the list? Custom workshops are scoped on enquiry. FinOps for Kubernetes, operating-model design, FOCUS adoption, GreenOps alignment, and FinOps for AI workloads have all been built bespoke in the past year. Enquire about a custom workshop
Every workshop begins with a free 30-minute scoping call, including the ones that are not on this list. Tell me who is in the room and what you need them to be able to do afterwards.
