I work with how human beings think, decide and take responsibility — in organisations and in life.
Thinking
Essays where I develop and test ideas about judgement, systems and human behaviour.
The distance between authority and responsibility
Power is rarely where it appears to be.
The person with the title is not always the one making the decision — and the one making the decision is not always the one who will be held accountable.
What clay teaches about control
Clay does not do what you want it to do.
It does what it can do — given its moisture, its thickness, the pressure you apply and the speed at which you move.
Form as active force
We tend to think of structures as neutral containers.
In practice, they shape behaviour, decisions and what becomes possible.
Practice
Ways of working where thinking is explored through experience.
Clay & Leadership
A small group practice using clay as a way to explore control, resistance and form in leadership.
Camino
A walking-based format where movement, landscape and conversation create space for reflection and decision.
Conversations
Ongoing, confidential work with a small number of leaders and organisations.
Long-form, precise and situational.
Notes
Fragments, reading and influences that shape how I think.
On complexity vs. complication
Complicated problems can be solved.
Complex ones must be understood and lived with.
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions — Thomas Kuhn
Not only about science, but about how ways of seeing collapse and reform.
Movement and condition
Some things change.
Some things hold.
Most of what matters exists in the tension between the two.
