What we're working outin the open.

Notes on how businesses actually get things built. Written from the work, not for the pipeline.

Perspectives

Things worth arguing about.

More on the way. We publish when we have worked something out properly, which is less often than a content calendar would prefer.

What we think about

Growth, margin and productivity, examined at the level of the mechanism rather than the metric.

The gap between a decision being made and anything changing, and what closes it.

Where automation and emerging technology change the economics, and where they are an expensive way to look modern.

Structures built for one set of conditions, quietly capping a business under another.
