Most teams are running their existing playbook against a fundamentally different kind of system. This post in the Intelligent Quality Leadership series covers the five dimensions that separate AI testing strategy from AI testing theatre.

This is the fifth post in the Intelligent Quality Leadership series, and if I'm being honest with myself, I wanted this one to feel different. The first four posts have been heavy on frameworks and thinking models, and while I stand behind every word, I was conscious that we'd been spending a lot of time … Continue reading IQL Practical #1 – Don’t Just Test the Output… Challenge the Reasoning.
AI hasn't solved the quality culture problem. It's made it more complicated. When everyone can generate tests with a prompt, the question of who actually owns quality becomes harder to answer, not easier. This is the fourth post in the Intelligent Quality Leadership series. It explores the Leadership + QE corner of the triangle, where … Continue reading Quality Culture: Shared Ownership Is Harder Now, Not Easier

I’ve been sitting with an idea for a while now. It’s not fully formed yet and that’s exactly why I’m writing about it. One of the things I try to be deliberate about as a leader is not sharing an idea until I’ve actually stress-tested it. It’s easy to post a hot take. It’s harder … Continue reading Intelligent Quality Leadership: A Model Still Taking Shape
Let’s flip the script. Following on from yesterdays post after I read about over half of all Gen-Z identifying as Neurodivergent Imagine a world where neurodivergence isn’t the exception, it’s the expectation. Where sensory sensitivity, pattern obsession, hyperfocus, and emotional intensity aren’t quirks to be managed, but traits to be understood, supported, and celebrated. What … Continue reading What If Neurodivergence Was the Norm?
Let’s start with a number that should stop us in our tracks: 53% of Gen Z now identify as neurodivergent. ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety, OCD, the labels vary, but the message is clear: the next generation isn’t hiding their cognitive differences. They’re naming them, owning them, and asking the world to catch up. This isn’t a … Continue reading The Neurodivergent Majority: Rethinking Normal in a Gen Z World
Following my last post on People-First Leadership, I received a fair amount of feedback on the topic and not all of it was positive.
