Closing the #Strategy–Shop Floor Gap
I see beautiful strategies at the top & frustrated operators at the bottom. The missing piece is translation: how does the #boardroom intent show up as today’s work instructions, checks, and conversations? #PIOL helps #leaders #design the “last mile” of strategy

Operating Models for Private #Equity and IPO Readiness
When private equity or a future #IPO is in the picture, discipline matters. #Investors look for #predictable #performance, strong #governance, and #scalable systems. It’s not just about today’s #EBITDA — it’s about tomorrow’s credibility.

Supplier Quality: Your Extended Factory Floor
Your #suppliers are not “outside” your #quality system; they’re an extension of your #production line. If you treat #supplier quality as a box-ticking exercise, you’ll eventually pay for it in #recalls, delays, or lost #customers.

Culture Is What Happens When You’re Not in the Room
Posters and values statements are easy. What matters is what people believe they must do to survive and #succeed. That’s culture. That’s where #trust is won or lost.

If your calendar is full of emergency meetings, your #systems are under-designed. Foresight is not a gift; it’s what happens when #leadership, #process, and #data are aligned.

“Firefighting feels like progress, until you notice you’re always in the same burning building.” – PIOL

Leadership at the Center of Every Transformation
When #transformation stall, the first instinct is to blame tools, systems, or “resistance to change.” In reality, most failures start with #leadership ambiguity.

“Confusion at the top compounds into chaos at the bottom.” PIOL

Practical Intelligence Beats PowerPoint Consulting
Most leaders I work with don’t need another 120-slide strategy deck. They need practical intelligence: clear decisions, clean processes, and a way to execute.
“Strategy is only as good as the next action it makes obvious.” – PIOL

The modern CFO doesn’t just report numbers — they architect decisions. Analytics-first finance means: data before opinion, questions before conclusions, and forward view before rearview. CFOs who master this become the organization’s true strategic operating system. #CFO #Finance

AI Strategy vs AI Hype
Every company claims to have an AI strategy. Few actually do.
The real work of AI adoption isn’t glamorous — it’s data hygiene, governance, integration, and change management.
