We get what we pay for is a myth!
We get what we pay for is a myth. It makes good business sense to maximise outputs with the inputs we have. But how do we make this possible? The first step is to see things differently. Consider these points: Every purchase should be rooted in clarity of need, not...
What are we losing by creating this sameness?
As humans, we are conditioned to blend into our tribe. We follow cultural norms, dress like others, and behave in predictable ways. When kids or young people resist this pull, parents and leaders often nudge them back in line. Workplaces do the same: every meeting...
There is no recipe for success!
The plumber with the biggest toolbox is not necessarily the best plumber in town. Real skill is measured by the outcome of the work, and effectiveness by choosing the right tool for the job. There is no recipe for success. Following a method, framework, or checklist...
Projects are a team sport!
Projects aren’t marathons. They’re team sports. We win when we put our heart and soul into the craft—collaborating, listening, contributing, adjusting, failing, practising, and refining. Passion and commitment are the real fuel. It’s never routine work. Projects bring...
Get ready for endless waves of change!
Change is no longer a breeze to adjust to—it’s a tidal wave, building higher and moving faster with every passing year. With AI and other emerging technologies accelerating the current, nothing is slowing down. Soon, organisations will launch programs to build change...
How to do more with less?
We aspire to do more with less. To squeeze diamonds out of pressure, not just coal out of effort. Yet in the noise of lean, SMART goals, MVPs, frameworks, and countless acronyms, the signal often fades. Busyness drowns out progress, and we end up with activity, not...
Feedback Loops!
How do we know if we’re doing the right things or even walking the right path? We rarely know everything before we start. Often, we have to take a few steps, invest some resources, and then pause to reassess whether adjustments are needed. The real problem isn’t the...
We complain because it gives us relief!
We complain because it gives us relief. Relief that it’s not us—it’s someone else. A recruiter, the weather, an ERP vendor. Anyone but us. Complaining is free in a free world. It even works like chewing gum for the mind—keeps the mouth busy, but never fills the...
Knowing ourselves with an open mind!
There is real power in knowing ourselves and having an open mind. Knowing who we are. Our values. Our goals. Why those goals matter. What we will negotiate on—and what we will never compromise. The price we are willing to pay for our aspirations. Everything else is...
Harmony!
Systems that last do so because of harmony.Nature, music, even high-precision machines—they all thrive when in tune. Harmony doesn’t mean perfection or straight lines. It’s like an orchestra: some notes rise, some fall, but together they create music. The ups and...
Are we customers or products?
If I buy from Apple, I am considered their customer. Yet collectively, millions like me share our personal data on their platform, subscribe to their services, and stay loyal to their brand. Holistically, we are not just Apple’s customers—we are Apple’s product. From...
Achieving more with limited resources!
Achieving more with limited resources is not a new idea—but it is a necessary one. What makes the difference is not the constraint itself, but the approach we take to manage it. Consider these approaches: Exploit resources by squeezing more out of them. Manipulate...
