Learn to reason from experience.
The next advantage on projects won't come from more information. It will come from better reasoning.
Experience does not transfer on its own.
Experience doesn't transfer automatically. People learn to reason when they work through challenging problems, not when they're simply given the answer. That's what helps them take what they learned on one project and use it when they face something new.
Most learning misses this step. Reports, lessons learned and now AI can give us information and answers. But being given an answer is not the same as learning how to reach one.
The reasoning that does transfer isn't in the documents. It sits inside how people think, and it is rarely stated.
What you'll be able to achieve.
By the end of the Masterclass, you'll be able to draw out the reasoning behind what worked, state the pattern underneath it, and use it on a situation you've never faced — with or without AI.
Get the whole problem first
See what's actually there before you decide what's causing it.
Capture the reasoning, not just the result
Records tell you what a project did. They rarely tell you why. Learn to get at the decisions and tradeoffs behind the result.
See what truly matters
Two situations that look nothing alike can share the same underlying problem. Learn to state that pattern in a form you can carry to the next project.
See what made the difference
Compare projects to understand why results differed and which differences mattered.
Get more out of AI tools
Learn to make AI useful on decisions.
Adapt to new situations
Work out what applies, what is different and what you should do or test next.
Five weeks. Five real project situations.
Each week, you work through a challenging project situation before you're shown how an expert approached it. That order is deliberate — working it out first is what makes the expert's reasoning transfer, and what lets you use it on uncertain situations.
Understand before you compare
Work through a real project decision and set out your own reasoning first. Then compare it against situations that faced the same problem.
Get to the reasoning
Records tell you what a project did, rarely why. Learn to draw out the decisions and tradeoffs behind the result — that's the part that transfers.
Work out what made the difference
Compare similar projects to see why they diverged, what shaped the outcomes, and where the comparison stops holding for the decision in front of you.
Work with AI
AI sounds equally sure whether it has seen this before or not. Learn what it can genuinely do, where it breaks down, and why your own reasoning is what turns it into a useful answer.
Apply it to your project
Bring a live project decision. Work it through, test your thinking against the group, and decide what you'd do or test next.
Built for people making important project decisions.
Use experience to back the call
Learn how to draw on similar situations, work out what actually matters, and apply that reasoning to the decision in front of you.
Make your expertise transferable
Learn how to draw out the reasoning behind your experience so others can understand it, challenge it, and use it in situations you haven't faced.
Learn from experience beyond your organisation
Your situation may be new to your organisation, but others have faced something similar. Learn how to find those situations, and see where the comparison holds and where it doesn't, before deciding what to do.
You're looking for project management fundamentals, a certificate, or a course you can watch passively. You'll be expected to work through unfamiliar project situations before seeing how others approached them.
Dr Duro Kolar
Duro brings together two fields that rarely meet: experience leading complex projects and research on how people reason with AI and transfer what they know to situations they haven't faced.
