Insights
Written by the people doing the work.
Pieces on AI, business applications, data, and independent advice. Two shelves: what's happening right now, and the thinking that holds up after the news moves on.
What's Happening
Timely reads on current events and moments — written while they matter, revisited as the picture changes.
Independence · Industry
When the seller becomes the advisor
Three 2026 announcements — Microsoft's FY27 incentive rewrite, Microsoft Frontier Company, and Anthropic's and OpenAI's new consulting arms — and what they reveal about who's really advising you.
Platform Fit · Microsoft ERP
GP is retiring. The real question isn't which product replaces it.
Dynamics GP's support clock is real and dated. The decision underneath it is bigger than Business Central vs. Finance & Supply Chain Management.
The Long View
Evergreen thinking — the thesis and the practice, the parts that stay true after the news moves on.
Independence · Advisory
Why most technology investments quietly underdeliver
70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to meet their objectives. The structural reason it persists — who builds the business case, and what they have riding on the answer.
AI · Governance
Two ways in: designing governance, or auditing it
Some organizations need a governance structure built from nothing. Others already have one on paper and need an honest read on whether it's real.
AI · Adoption
Copilot, agents, and the gap between deployed and adopted
79% of enterprises have adopted AI agents in some form. 11% run them in production. The story in between is not a technology problem.
