June 30, 2026 AI is the most disruptive operational shift your organisation will ever execute. The critical question is: are your people actually ready for it? According to global research, 88% of organisations are now regularly using AI within at least one core business function. The enterprise licences have been purchased, the tools are deployed, and the triumphant company-wide announcements have been made….
June 26, 2026 Ask the average leader whether their organisation is ready for the next big initiative, and most of them will say yes. Not because they have measured it. Because the alternative is uncomfortable. Saying “I do not know whether we are ready” is not a position that sits well in a steering committee…
June 25, 2026 It is one of the most demoralising experiences in organisational leadership. You spend months designing a new structure. The executive team aligns. The consultants draw the boxes and lines. The announcement goes out. The new reporting arrangements take effect. And then, six weeks later, the organisation is operating almost identically to how…
June 24, 2026 “Are we ready for this?” It is asked in almost every steering committee meeting before a major initiative goes live. And in almost every case, the answer is a version of yes, because the comms plan is done, the training is booked, and the project status report is green. That is not…
June 19, 2026 You have committed to a new ERP. The vendor is selected. The implementation partner is engaged. The project plan is built. The go-live date is in the calendar.

Key people start leaving. Teams that were performing stop performing. Cultural friction surfaces in places the due diligence process never looked. And the…
June 17, 2026 There is a meeting that happens inside organisations with depressing regularity. It happens about three months after a major go-live. Someone presents the adoption data. The numbers are not good. Leaders look at each other. Someone says “we should have done more change management.” The project is signed off as delivered. The…
June 16, 2026 More than half the workforce is burned out. Not tired. Not stressed in the way we have normalised stress. Burned out in the World Health Organisation definition of the word: chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, showing up as exhaustion, cynicism, and declining effectiveness. Burnout mentions in employee reviews…
June 15, 2026 One in five employees globally is genuinely engaged at work right now. One in five. Global employee engagement fell from 23% in 2023 to 21% in 2024, only the second time it has declined in twelve years.
