Work is crazy. Make it beautiful.
the operating system of the world's greatest teams
Everything here starts from one question. What does good look like in the world's greatest teams, in sport and in business? The answer keeps coming back to the way the team works, the operating system underneath the talent. That system can be learned. Decoding it is what I do.
I write, speak and build on one long study of the world's greatest teams. I've been at it since 1997, inside corporates, start-ups and public institutions.
A working day that takes your team through the book’s method, one layer at a time. One team, one room, one day, and a plan the team owns by five o’clock.
Two decodes of what Stacked, out in 2026, and Character Insights, 2022. Two decades of what good looks like.
Talks that bring the evidence to your stage, every claim carrying its source. The flagship brings the new book’s thesis to your room.
Stacked, the keynote
The human talk that answers the AI question.
The first half tells the truth about what the machine age is doing to work. The second hands over the system the champions run, and the first moves your room can make on Monday morning.
Stacked
A New Operating System from the Back-to-Back World Cup Rugby Champions
