Ideas that need more space than a Friday note. This is where I work through the questions behind the work: how partnerships should actually function, how to choose technology that serves rather than extracts, and why the way we build relationships matters as much as what we build.

Partnership Principles
Long-form essays articulating the framework: why partnerships beat transactions, why embedding beats advising, why adventure beats comfort. Research-grounded, experience-tested.
Partnerships Over Transactions
We don’t extract value; we create it together. Every engagement is structured for mutual benefit — where your success is our success. This isn’t philosophy; it’s grounded in relational contract theory and the research showing that partnerships built on reciprocity dramatically outperform transactional arrangements.
Embedding Over Advising
Recommendations delivered from outside create dependency. Capability built from inside persists. We attend your internal meetings, navigate your organisational reality, and build your team’s capacity rather than substituting for it. When action is needed, we don’t hide.
Adventure Over Comfort
The deepest partnerships form through shared challenge, not conference room presentations. We integrate outdoor experiences — climbing, mountain biking, ski touring — into relationship-building when it serves the work. Not corporate team-building, but an authentic shared experience that accelerates trust.
Protection Over Exposure
The wisdom to know which battles deserve your depth. Not all resistance to depth is fear. Some clients keep partnerships shallow because exposure reveals gaps. Others are wiser—saving vulnerability for where it matters. My job is to know the difference, and to be worth it when the moment is right.
