Bad behaviour from the bosses: are they blustering or listening?
Bad leadership isn’t about a lack of vision – it’s about ego, yes-men, and the refusal to listen when the inconvenient truth speaks up.

Are your content and thought-leadership outputs grounded in your commercial strategy?
Your next customer might be someone who’s been watching quietly for years. That’s why strategic, consistent content isn’t a ‘nice to have’- it’s the engine of long-term commercial growth.

Marketing: a polarized profession?
Most marketing failures come from skill without context. If you don’t understand the customer journey, even the best techniques miss the mark. Strong marketing leadership fixes that.

Who governs the guardians?
Too often, weak leaders protect themselves, hurting performance and value. To build stronger companies and investments, we need independent experts who truly understand the business.
