Insights.
The intellectual infrastructure behind the advisory work. Frameworks, diagnostics, and reference tools designed to be used, not read once and filed.
The structured thinking from the advisory work — available to leaders who want to apply the frameworks directly, not just read about them.
The essays and long-form writing have moved to The Quiet Work — a publication on decision making, entrepreneurship, and leadership under pressure. What remains here is the reference layer: the frameworks built in the field, the diagnostics developed from practice, and the structured tools that sit at the centre of the advisory work.
If you are looking for the thinking, start there. If you are looking for the tools, you are in the right place.
Proprietary frameworks
from the advisory work.
These are not models to admire. They are tools to use. Each has been developed from the advisory practice and refined in live decision contexts.
The complete framework for examining a high-stakes decision before you commit.
Context, Architecture, Decision, Economics, Narrative, Consequence, Execution. Most leaders approach a major decision with the presenting version of the problem — what it looks like from the outside, how it has been described, what others have named it. This framework gets beneath that. It maps the seven dimensions that a consequential decision actually requires you to examine before committing.
Coming soon via The Quiet WorkA practical tool for mapping first, second, and third-order effects of a significant decision.
Surfaces what the presenting analysis typically obscures — the costs that don’t appear on the balance sheet, the cultural consequences that arrive six months later, and the reputational effects that compound invisibly until they don’t. Designed to be completed before a decision is finalised, not as a retrospective exercise.
