Perspectives

Independent views on decisions that matter.

Notes on strategy, transactions, leadership, transformation and emerging business models — written for boards, owners and executives.

Editorial approach

Substantive, practical and grounded in experience.

From strategy to execution

Why important transformation programmes stall between boardroom intent and executive action.

Where a senior external adviser can add value without displacing the board, CEO or management team.

Why acquisitions, disposals and partnerships should begin with the strategic question, not the process.

Confidential conversation

I work on a limited number of advisory relationships and strategic assignments at any one time.
