Reports, perspectives and case studies from the people building tomorrow's enterprise — distilled from real engagements across the US, UK, and Europe. No fluff. Just the signal.
Our flagship annual research, drawing on conversations with executives across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and retail.
Our flagship research on the agentic AI shift: what's hype, what's load-bearing, and what the operating model has to look like to capture the value. Drawing on Gartner, McKinsey, and Deloitte's most recent agent-economy research, this report maps the operating disciplines that separate the firms compounding value from those still abandoning their pilots — and is the most-read piece in our 2026 catalogue.

Gartner expects task-specific AI agents inside 40% of enterprise applications by end-2026 — yet only 39% of D&A leaders are confident AI will improve financial performance. The gap between deployment and value is the new transformation agenda.
Gartner forecasts half of business decisions will be augmented or automated by AI agents — but most decision processes were not designed for it. Business intelligence is being redrawn around a new question: who, or what, makes the call?
Global breach costs fell for the first time in five years. US costs hit a record $10.22M. AI is now used by attackers in 16% of incidents, and shadow AI is the costliest new variable. Where you operate matters as much as what you protect.
Gartner forecast 30%+ of GenAI projects abandoned after proof of concept by end-2025 — with poor data quality cited as a leading cause. Successful AI initiatives invest several times more in their data foundations than the ones that do not.
A deep look at the agentic AI shift — what's hype, what's load-bearing, and what the operating model has to look like to capture the value. Drawing on the most recent Gartner, McKinsey and Deloitte research on agent maturity and governance.
Why integrated security has become the single most cost-saving control in software delivery — and the practical pattern that finally makes it stick. With IBM's $4.44M global breach cost and shadow-AI on the rise, the integration question is now a board question.
Infrastructure built for today collapses under tomorrow's load. The 2024 cloud outages, the CrowdStrike incident, and the rising cost of cloud waste reveal what separates resilient organisations from fragile ones — and what to fix before the next one.
Op-ed style essays and selected long-reads from the people doing the work — provocations, counter-takes, and field-level observations on the moves that matter. Each card links to a full perspective article.
For two decades, technology consulting was a cost-out conversation. With only 39% of D&A leaders confident AI will improve financial performance, the executive technology conversation has shifted from efficiency to existential — and the advisory model has to shift with it.
WEF Future of Jobs 2025: 39% of core skills will change by 2030. 63% of employers cite skill gaps as the top barrier to transformation. 94% of leaders face AI-critical skill shortages today. The reskilling conversation has been absorbed into the transformation conversation.
Katalon's 2025 State of Quality Report finds 82% of QA teams still run manual tests daily — even as 72% use AI for test case generation. The transition is underway, but the legacy is heavier than the headlines suggest. The QA function is changing faster than at any point in two decades.
McKinsey: technical debt represents up to 40% of large enterprise IT estates. Stripe: the global GDP impact reaches $3 trillion. 60% of CIOs report the debt has grown materially in the last three years. Modernisation has become the largest IT category nobody named.
Specific engagements, named challenges, measured results. Where confidentiality permits, we publish the full story — context, choices, and what we'd do differently.
Flexera 2025: 84% of organisations call managing cloud spend their top challenge. Expected 28% spend rise, 17% budget overrun, 27% wasted. But a separate group of organisations are quietly bending the curve. This is what that shift looks like in the published evidence.
The global managed services market reached approximately $401B in 2025 and is forecast to more than double to $847B by 2033. 75% of Fortune 500 now use MSPs for at least two core IT functions. The model has gone from optional to load-bearing.
McKinsey: for every seven product ideas, roughly 1.5 launch and only one succeeds. Top-performing companies report a 76% innovation success rate against an industry average closer to 50%. The pattern that produces the difference is well-evidenced — and rarely about the product itself.
MuleSoft 2025 Connectivity Benchmark of 1,050 IT leaders: the average organisation now operates 897 applications — and only 2% have integrated more than half of them. The integration market is racing to fill the gap, with EAI spend forecast to more than double to $36B by 2030.
At a Tier-1 global bank, an AI contract-intelligence platform collapsed a three-week credit-analysis process into seconds — eliminating approximately 360,000 hours of skilled legal review every year and reducing loan-servicing errors that had stemmed from human inconsistency.
Inside a high-throughput streaming engagement: the architecture, the cost discipline, and the operational pattern that held up under real-world load. The story of what scales, what doesn't, and why the FinOps conversation must come first — backed by published industry benchmarks on streaming infrastructure.
One of Asia's most-cited bank transformations: a decade of platform discipline that turned a regulator-bound incumbent into one of the world's most engineering-disciplined financial services organisations. The published numbers — 10× release cadence, 7.5× test execution growth, AI deployment cut from 18 months to under a week — are the benchmark for what platform engineering can deliver.
