I write and speak on agile leadership, social development, and the intersection of organisational change and civic responsibility. My work has appeared in Management Today, WIRED, Business Leader, and Authority Magazine, covering topics from CEO activism and startup scaling to agile not-for-profits and navigating uncertainty in complex systems.
The pieces collected here represent over a decade of agile social development thinking in public, from grassroots community work in Yemen and Pakistan to boardroom transformation programmes across fifteen countries. Organised by format and date, most recent first.
