Challenges I Help Solve

Operating performance depends on what people notice, trust, decide and repeat — especially when AI changes the conditions of work.

What We’re Noticing

What We’re Noticing

The most interesting organisational challenges rarely begin with a lack of information. They begin when important signals go unnoticed, are misinterpreted or are acted upon too late. This section captures selected observations, questions and emerging ideas from ongoing work, research and exploration.

Small anomalies often precede major failures.

High Reliability Organisations often succeed not by eliminating uncertainty, but by becoming exceptionally good at detecting, interpreting and responding to it.

What Are We Missing?

Reflections on Dave Snowden and complexity.

Perhaps organisational change is less about changing individuals and more about changing the interactions, relationships and conditions that shape behaviour.

Changing Interactions, Not Individuals

What the AI Experience Summit revealed about adoption, trust and decision-making.

Technology is visible. The conditions that determine whether technology succeeds are often invisible.
