Most tech projects die between "we know what's broken" and "here's the budget to fix it." This breaks down the Multi-Release Technology Plan—the framework that turns assessments into funded initiatives by answering: how much, how long, and what if we can't afford it all?

Digital transformation initiatives don’t fail because of bad technology choices. They fail because the business can’t coordinate the work.

Many companies fired talent to go "AI-first," then quietly rehired them. This is what happens when execs mistake tech for strategy. Mid-market CEOs have an advantage, don't waste it on "technology theater." Are you using AI to create advantage or just chasing hype? #digitaltransformation ⬇️

Here's a question that should keep every CEO awake at night: Do you know where your data is, and are your current security measures adequate to avoid legal repercussions or significant revenue loss? If you're nodding confidently, you might want to think again. #cybersecurity #business #data 🔗⬇️

This month I decided to write my article about bottlenecks and why so much effort to unlock corporate growth doesn't achieve the desired results. "Beyond Bottlenecks: How CEOs Can Apply The Theory Of Constraints To Drive Growth". Link in the comments, let me know what you think.

My company had our annual whisky tasting party tonight. We tasted 6 single malts (and sampled a few others along the way). Each year the tasting follows a theme, this year it was “Not available in any store.” Also check the vid in the comments.
Table covered with a white blue checked table cloth set with 6 whisky bottles and 18 whisky glasses in front of each bottle. The table is in front of a patio door and tall windows looking onto a patio.

Last night we watched episode 1 of the new #blackmirror season. This morning our sprinklers came on even though it’s been rainy so I went into the app to see why rain skip didn’t happen and saw this… How is black mirror always so close to home?

Dad has gone off to hunt up some fresh fish for the family while Mom guards the nest. You can tell it’s the mom due to the brown bib.

This rings true. Pretty much every development team I've spoken with recently has said the AI tools are as much a hindrance as an aid. Novel but not game changing - yet.
