Rethinking Strategy: Making Strategic Planning a Living Process
Strategic planning is not about eliminating uncertainty – it’s about being equipped to face uncertainty with confidence. In this age of disruption, the winners will not be those who cling to rigid plans, but those who stay true to their purpose while remaining flexible in their approach.

A.I. Just Blew Up My Strategic Planning Process
A.I. can write a strategic plan for a small organization in fifteen minutes, provided, of course, one has all the data required and knows how to construct the prompts for the A.I. interface. Without the commitment of the people, however, it will sit on the shelf with all of the other unimplemented plans.

Beyond Execution: Building Leaders Who Create Value
Most leadership development efforts teach how to manage goals, communicate clearly, delegate efficiently, and deliver results - all important, but insufficient. Leaders must create value: economic, experiential, and organizational value in a way that is consistent across levels, and under pressure.

What We Don't Know We Don't Know: The Power of EQ Assessments
We all have areas we’re blind to—traits or habits we’ve rationalized or simply never noticed. Good assessment tools, when used with compassion and dialogue, bring those blind spots into the light. And when that happens, we can actually grow.

Bridging the Hidden Gaps: What Managers Don't Know and What It's Costing You
The most dangerous knowledge gap in an organization isn't likely to be technical. It's strategic. Chances are high that your managers—especially middle managers—are making mission-critical decisions every day based on incomplete perspectives, untested assumptions, or outdated mental models. It's not a question of competence. It's a question of calibration.
