What to expect

War Story

"We signed off on a 12-week CRM migration. It took 18 months."

The full story of a mid-market Salesforce implementation that nobody wanted to call dead — until it was obvious to everyone except the steering committee.

The kind of thing we cover every week.
AI News

What the latest Claude and GPT-4o updates actually mean for delivery consultants

Model benchmarks are interesting. But what matters is whether you can use it to write a requirements doc, QA a data migration, or brief a nervous client. We test that.

Practical AI coverage, not hype.
Free Resource

The project kickoff checklist that's saved us from ourselves

17 questions to ask before you start. Includes the awkward ones about budget authority, stakeholder sign-off, and whether the "data migration" has actually been scoped.

Free resources in every issue.

No more missing the memo.

Every consultant who's been caught off-guard by an AI update, missed a project pattern they'd seen before, or reinvented a wheel that someone else already made — this one's for you.
