25 years in. Still enjoying it.

I have a long-standing interest in how AI tools can support better working. Follow experiments and observations at RoyAI Daily.
Complex programmes.
Delivered.
Twenty-five years shipping digital products in environments where the stakes are high, the politics are real, and nobody has time for a methodology debate.
If your programme is stuck, your suppliers aren’t aligned, or your stakeholders have lost confidence — that’s the conversation I’m built for.
