At the beginning of the year, organisations everywhere are setting priorities, launching initiatives, and committing to what they want 2026 to look like. This moment matters, because early decisions shape not just what you work on, but how effectively the…

In a recent guest lecture for the Immersive Software Engineering programme, I explored a theme that resonates far beyond the classroom: organisations today are facing complexity problems , not technology problems . Even with world-class IT systems, many companies struggle…

In fast-growing and/or large complex organisations, complexity rarely arrives all at once. It builds slowly—through small sparks: a missed handoff, a vague project brief, a process re-invented yet again. These are weak signals—subtle signs that something is misaligned. Individually, each…

Growth exposes weaknesses long before leaders can see them. That’s why team effectiveness is the single biggest determinant of organisational performance. If a team can answer these questions with clarity and evidence , you have the foundations of a high-performing…

Every high-growth organization eventually hits a paradox: the very success that allows it to scale also dilutes the spirit that made scaling possible. The fire that once united a small, close-knit team begins to flicker under the weight of process,…
