01 Insights
Ideas for businesses in motion.
Perspectives on strategy, transformation, operations, organization and the changing role of technology — written for the people responsible for making businesses work.
02 The premise
We publish what we’d say in the room.
ACM Insights is not a content programme. It is where we work through the questions our clients keep arriving with, in public, before anyone signs anything.
Each piece takes a single business problem seriously: what is actually happening, why the obvious fix usually fails, and what we would examine first. No listicles, no vendor talking points, no predictions we can’t defend.
03 What we write about
Six territories, one underlying question.
Every subject below comes back to the same thing: what is genuinely limiting this business, and what would change it?
Strategy
Where to compete, what to decline, and how a business knows the difference.
Transformation
Why change programmes stall after approval, and what makes them hold.
Operations
The compounding cost of complexity, and where efficiency is really won.
Organization
Structure, role clarity and the decisions that wait on ambiguity.
AI
Where intelligence and automation change the economics of work — and where they don’t.
Leadership
How executive teams make better decisions under incomplete information.
04 Positions we hold
Three things we believe, argued at length.
These are the theses the first published pieces develop.
Transformation
Transformation is rarely blocked by the strategy.
The difficult part is changing the system that has to deliver it.
Operations
Complexity is the quietest cost in a business.
Individually small inefficiencies compound across an organization.
AI
AI doesn’t fix broken processes. It accelerates them.
Value comes from redesigning the work, not adding another tool.
05 Let’s talk
