Written by co-founder Rich Holmes, the Substack is a product-led analysis of the latest technologies and trends that matter to product teams.

- Upskill your leadership and delivery teams
Our guiding principles
Whether you’re looking to drive innovation, speed up delivery or figure out what opportunities the AI revolution might open up for your business, we take a product-first, pragmatic approach to working with you to achieve your goals.
Product first
We believe transformative success begins with product thinking at its core. It’s not about following trends or quick fixes – it’s about building products that users love in margin enhancing ways.
Practice over theory
Too many product folks get bogged down in hypothetical discussions, frameworks and theories. We recognise the importance of theoretical knowledge but also focus on concrete, actionable changes that are pragmatic.
AI-enabled transformation
AI is transforming everything. Our Substack keeps over 50,000 readers up to date with the latest AI technologies – and the partners we work with understand how new technologies can transform their business.
How an engagement might work
Depending on the nature of the project, we can work in intensive sprints on specific projects or on a longer term basis to embed product-led thinking and transformation into your business. For transformation projects, we typically work through two distinct phases: discovery / diagnosis and delivery.
During the discovery / diagnosis period, we’ll work with you to understand your goals and identify opportunities for product growth, AI transformation and innovation. In the delivery phase, we work with you to put our recommendations into action.
If you’re looking for high performing talent who can help you delivery AI powered outcomes, we can augment your company with the engineers, product managers or designers that you might need.
