These essays capture principles I repeatedly encounter while building, improving and governing systems in complex organisations.
01
Enterprise technology
The real ERP work starts after go-live
Long-term value comes from ownership, governance, data discipline, user support and continuous improvement.
02Data leadership

AI should enter through real workflows
The strongest AI opportunities attach to recurring work, clear decisions and measurable constraints.
05African enterprise
