How it works

Start with the work in front of you.

Choose something you want to work on. Prepare for it, put it into practice, and come back to see what happened.

Notice what keeps happening

Use an assessment to explore how you lead, make decisions, or work with others.

Try one thing differently

Watson and short lessons help you prepare for the conversation or decision ahead.

See what changed

Review what worked and what was difficult. Use that to choose your next step.

Your development, in one place.

Your Development path keeps your goal, assessments, lessons, and reviews together. Ask Watson when you need help thinking something through. Use Team to explore how people work together.

More ways to explore your work.

Use these tools to look back at a meeting or prepare for a working relationship.

Meeting Intelligence

Review a meeting transcript or a recording made with consent. Revisit decisions, unresolved questions, and agreed actions.

Stakeholder Match

Compare two working styles before a project or an important conversation. Think through where you may need to adapt.

Support for each person. A view for the team.

Individuals work on their own goals. Team leaders explore group patterns. HR helps set up and coordinate development, with access defined for each role.

For individuals

Make sense of your own patterns and get help with the situation in front of you.

For team leaders

Explore shared strengths and sources of friction. Give your next team conversation a specific starting point.

For organisations

Coordinate development across groups, manage access, and follow the work people are doing.

Development path

Keep learning when the week gets busy.

An assessment may help you understand a habit. Tuesday's meeting is where you get to try changing it. DearestWatson gives you a place to prepare, ask for help, and reflect afterwards.

Explore what we help with

Let's talk about what your people are working through.

Talk to DearestWatson

Start with the challenge in front of you.

Taking on a new role? Working through a team problem? Leading a change? Start with the situation you need to handle, then choose what to practise.

Find your footing in a new role.

More responsibility often means changing how you work with people. Start by understanding the habits you bring to the role.

Choose a goal, use your assessments to set a focus, and prepare with lessons and Watson. After you try it at work, come back to review what happened.

Current Team Signals view shown with fictional sample data

Start with the team picture.

Understand how your team works together.

Some decisions keep coming back to you. Others get stuck between people. Team helps you explore what may be behind them.

Look at shared themes in Signals, compare responses in Snapshot, explore relationships in Dynamics, or open a profile in People. Use what you find to choose what to work on together.

Talk about your team

Help people put change into practice.

A new strategy asks people to work differently. They need a chance to practise what that means in their own role.

Give leaders a Development path tied to the change. Use Team to discuss the group's starting point, then review progress alongside what people are seeing at work.

Discuss a pilot

Colleagues discussing their work together

Start where you need the help.

Work with a person, a team, or a leadership group. We can walk you through the platform using a situation that matters to you.

Learning needs somewhere to go.

We built DearestWatson to help people use what they learn when they are back at work.

What happens after the workshop?

You leave a workshop with something you want to change. Back at work, the old habits are still there and the next meeting is already starting. That gap is where DearestWatson began.

The platform keeps your assessments and Development path together, with Watson available when you need to think something through. You can prepare, try a different approach, and review it afterwards.

Make sense of your
starting point.

49 structured assessments are available. The 49 active assessments use self-reported answers to prompt reflection. Research sources inform the topics but do not validate the local questions or scores. The useful part is what you do with that understanding.

Understand your answers

Each assessment explores a particular aspect of how you work. The result explains the pattern in your answers and gives you something to reflect on in your own situation.

Choose what to practise

A Development path connects your goal to assessments, short lessons, and a review. Watson can help you prepare for the next conversation. You choose what to try.

Shubhada Watson, founder of DearestWatson

Founder
& CEO

Experience shaped the platform.

Shubhada Watson founded DearestWatson after more than 30 years working across leadership, organisational change, and evidence-based decision-making. Her experience includes Novo Nordisk and the World Health Organization, executive coaching at IMD Business School, leading the Deloitte Leadership Institute, and building PwC Executive in Denmark.

That experience led to a practical question: how do you support people between the workshops and coaching sessions, when they have to handle things themselves?

People stay in charge of the decisions.

Assessments and Watson can help people reflect and prepare. The choice of what to do stays with them.

Understand the starting point

Use assessments to explore how someone works. Discuss the results alongside their own experience.

Try it at work

Use an upcoming meeting, decision, or conversation as a chance to practise.

Respect personal development

Define who can see which views. Keep raw assessment answers with the person who gave them.

Tell us what you are trying to change.

Tell us about the situation. We will show you the relevant parts of the platform and discuss where to start.

Start a conversation

Start with the whole platform.

Run a one-month pilot with your own people, or choose a monthly or annual licence when you are ready.

One connected workspace.

Assessments, a Development path, Watson, and Team. All in the same workspace.

One licence. One connected workspace.

Set up your workspace with us, invite people through secure email or your organisation's SSO, and give each role the access that fits. There is no setup fee.

Set up together

Choose the first group, their access, and the starting focus. We guide the setup and help people find their way around.

Review what changed

Look at the goals, practice, and reviews alongside feedback from the group. Decide together whether a wider rollout makes sense.

Tell us what needs to change.

Tell us who you want to support and what they are working on. We can answer your questions or arrange a walkthrough.

Answers before we talk.

Can an individual sign up?

DearestWatson is set up for organisations. People join a workspace through their organisation's SSO or a secure invitation.

Where is our data handled?

Our production database and application compute are in Stockholm. AI requests go to Mistral in the EU, and encrypted backups are held in Ireland. Web delivery and some supplier support access may involve locations outside the EEA under transfer safeguards; limited operational metadata may be handled globally. The Trust Center explains the service and its suppliers.

Can we start with a smaller group?

Yes. The one-month pilot is designed for up to 20 people. We can also discuss the right starting scope for an ongoing agreement.

How does setup work?

We agree the first group, the development focus, and who needs access to which views. Guided setup and onboarding are included. Your IT and privacy teams can review the Trust Center before you begin.

How do people sign in?

People join their organisation's workspace through an invitation and use email/password or the organisation's SAML SSO. The platform works in a browser. If you want to use it in Microsoft Teams, we can walk through the setup and scope with your IT team. The personal tab uses the shared workspace; the bot has its own coaching history.

What can a team leader see?

Access depends on the person's role and the workspace setup. Team views show group patterns and the results available to that role. Raw assessment answers stay with the person who gave them. We explain the access boundaries during setup.

Can we use this alongside existing development programmes?

Yes. Start with the work people are already doing. A Development path gives them somewhere to prepare, practise, and review between workshops or coaching conversations. We can show you that flow in a walkthrough.

How do we know whether it is helping?

Agree a goal at the start. Review the assessments, practice, and reflections alongside feedback about what is happening at work. Changed answers and reported practice do not by themselves prove improved performance. During a pilot, use those conversations to decide whether the platform is useful for your people.

The controls behind the platform.

Access, customer separation, encryption, and backups.

Access by role

Role based permissions shape team and organisation views. Raw assessment answers stay with the person who gave them. Support access is limited to a defined need.

Separate customer workspaces

Each organisation has its own tenant. Database row level security and server authorisation restrict access across organisations.

Encrypted data

HTTPS and TLS protect connections. Database, file storage, and independent backups are encrypted. Production and development are separate.

Daily backups

Database and stored files are backed up to a separate EU location. We maintain recovery procedures and evidence from an isolated recovery exercise.

Know what happens
to your data.

Our core service runs in Stockholm. Watson uses Mistral's EU endpoint to help people reflect and prepare. People make the decisions.

We do not use customer content to train or fine tune our own models. Each AI feature uses the context it needs for that request. Meeting content requires the capability to be enabled and the required consent to be in place.

Static web content can be delivered globally. Supplier support access may cross the EEA boundary under contractual safeguards. Microsoft services are involved when a customer enables Teams or enterprise identity.

We can share current subprocessor and transfer details for your review.

Recovery and continuity

Daily backups cover the database and stored files. Copies are encrypted and held independently in Ireland.

In September 2026 we restored a development recovery bundle into an isolated hosted environment and checked access controls, authentication, and file integrity. This was a contained development exercise.

Assurance and security review

Our security programme includes documented policies, a risk register, technical controls, and operating evidence. We review public claims against that evidence.

DearestWatson does not currently hold ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report.

We can provide appropriate policy, processing, supplier, and recovery material during your review.
