From intent to impact
Practical thinking on how leaders decide, commit, and deliver, and where AI genuinely moves the needle.
You Are Building Your Strategy Wrong
If your strategy started in a chat window, it points in a direction nobody chose. Strategy is a process: people bring the ideas, models give direction, the organization builds it together, and the executive team commits before anything moves.
A Prescriptive Guide to AI Strategy
The big firms' AI playbooks agree on more than they admit, and they share the same three blind spots. Here is a phase by phase prescription for building an AI strategy that is owned by the business, sequenced by judgment, priced at scale, and measured on what shows up.
The Transformation Trap
Twenty years of transformation waves have produced the same result, and the firms selling them have the data to prove it. AI transformation is the same wave with a steeper cost curve. When does transformation just become running the business?

The hidden cost of building business cases by hand
A business case should take hours to model. It takes weeks, and almost none of that is modeling. Where the time actually goes, and what it costs beyond hours.

Your company is buying the same AI analysis over and over, because nobody can see what anybody else already asked. That is the real cost of shadow AI, and buying enterprise seats does not make it go away.
The Future of Consulting in the Age of AI
AI is repricing the consulting industry in real time. The winners will automate the 90 percent of engagement hours that are mechanical and redeploy their people to the 10 percent that matters.
