About the Academy →
Portrait of Liam Wickham.

Liam Wickham

Liam works on the systems around production: how decisions get made, how risk is handled, whether plans hold up and what leaders need to see.

Portrait of Ali Durrant.

Ali Durrant

Ali works on the people side: mentoring producers, developing leaders and building the practical skills that teams rely on every day.

Learned on real projects

Good production is rarely one heroic producer holding everything in their head. It is a team that notices a dependency early, says out loud what it is unsure about and makes the decision before the work sets around the wrong assumption.
