Failure in any strategy implementation or change initiative is
a human problem.
Treat it that way.
I am a scholar and advisor working at the intersection of strategy, leadership and technology. My research shows that organisations don't fail because of strategic intent or technology — they fail because of trust, culture, and how people actually respond to change.
An uncomfortable truth
Only 5% of companies generate real value from AI.
Most organisations are already using AI. Most of them are getting no real value from it. The technology has arrived faster than the human systems around it — fear, identity, trust, status, culture. That gap is where my research and advisory practice sit.
I help leadership teams diagnose where they actually are — not where they pretend to be — and design honest, bold interventions that move them.
