Practical, direct thinking on leadership, performance, technology, and the uncomfortable truths most organisations prefer not to examine. Written personally. No filler.
A monthly dispatch sharing news, ideas, tools, and insights drawn from 30+ years at the intersection of leadership, research, and institutional change.
My intention is to provide genuinely useful content — not to inundate your inbox. Many readers create a dedicated folder to save issues rather than delete them.
Beyond the hype — what AI and emerging technologies are actually doing to organisations, leadership, and work. Practical observations from someone who builds and researches rather than commentates.
What it actually costs to perform at the highest levels — and what organisations do to both enable and undermine their best people. Unvarnished perspectives from three decades in the room.
How organisations build, sustain, and commercialise research and innovation. What works, what doesn't, and why the gap between knowledge and action is almost always a leadership problem.
The construction and built environment sector is being transformed by digital technology. What digital twins, BIM, and data-driven approaches mean for the people and organisations within it.
When presence shifts outcomes. How individuals with deep competence navigate — and sometimes transform — the systems and institutions that initially resist them.
Thirty years working with founders — from student startups to research spin-outs. What distinguishes those who build something lasting from those who don't.
I write from experience, not from a distance. Every perspective I share is grounded in having actually led organisations, run research programmes, built startups, and sat in the rooms where difficult decisions happen.
That means practical over theoretical. Direct over diplomatic. Honest over comfortable.
I'm not interested in producing content. I'm interested in sharing thinking that is genuinely useful — ideas that you can take into your work and your leadership.
