Twelve months ago, the conversation in most boardrooms was about getting AI into the business. Today, the better question is whether anyone still knows what the business has got. Copilot licences have now been rolled out, developers are leaning on tools like ChatGPT and Claude daily for code generation to allow them to move faster…
I’ve spent most of my career in and around digital delivery. Different organisations, different sectors, different technology stacks. Across all of it, I’ve had a version of the same conversation more times than I care to admit. A client comes in with a clear ask – build us a Power App, automate this process, give…
Most business leaders know when something isn’t quite right. Revenue grows, teams stay busy, technology spend is healthy, yet margins remain flat and everyone feels permanently stretched.

Excel has earned its place as one of the most versatile tools in business history. Yet for all its power, many organisations are quietly drowning in it. When critical reporting, forecasting, and decision-making depend on endless manual spreadsheets, you are not managing data – you are managing chaos. Escaping Excel Hell with automated business reporting…
Where We Went Wrong with Excel For decades, Excel has been the quiet workhorse of business life. It has modelled finances, tracked sales, forecast demand and helped managers make sense of the numbers. But somewhere along the way, that helpful spreadsheet evolved into something far more dangerous – a sprawling maze of formulas, links and…
How Custom Applications Can Revolutionise Client Engagement Client engagement is no longer something that happens by chance. In almost every sector, supplier choice is broad, procurement cycles are rigorous and attention is split across competing priorities. The organisations that thrive are those that create meaningful, sustained connections with their clients and stakeholders. An increasingly powerful…
Exploring a practical application for Computer Vision in process automation Image validation and manual review are often overlooked sources of inefficiency.
