Ideas

A notebook, not a blog.

The best conversations I've had in my career haven't been about technology. They've been about organisations โ€” why some teams consistently deliver while others struggle, why platforms gradually become bottlenecks, why talented people still make poor decisions when they don't share the same picture of reality.

This is where I write about those ideas. Not because I think I've found the right answers. Mostly because writing forces me to think more clearly.
