Read more in The Times article below to find out if this shift, driven by rising pressures and complex challenges like AI and cybersecurity, is leading to increased operational involvement from boards, resulting in heightened tensions within the boardroom.

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀! 🚀 After an incredible journey in management consulting and transformation delivery, including my recent role as a Financial Services Partner at BIP, I’m excited to share that I’ve taken the leap into the tech start-up world! Alongside Henry Oakes and Matt Glusac, I’ve co-founded Pathfinder (more on that below). But first, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to everyone at Chaucer/BIP. To all the colleagues and friends I’ve made along the way 🙏, and a big thank you to the clients I’ve had the privilege of working with—solving challenges, driving change, and building for the future together has been incredibly rewarding. 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼 Pathfinder... Having worked on, managed, and led dozens of transformation programmes, it’s clear that most large initiatives face the same recurring challenges that threaten timelines, budgets, or benefits—or all three. These include hidden risks, unseen dependencies, resource bottlenecks, communication breakdowns, and task delays. Complexity and siloed teams often compound these issues. Sound familiar? Now, think about how the cybersecurity space has evolved, with smart technology protecting our systems. We asked ourselves: Why don’t we protect our programmes as smartly as we protect our systems?   That’s why we’ve created Pathfinder, a cloud-native solution designed to bring a fresh approach to programme delivery—an intelligent risk monitoring, detection, and mitigation system. Think of it as 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: 24/7 monitoring, smart threat detection, and real-time reporting to identify and address delivery risks before they escalate. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗔𝗜 continuously scans for emerging threats, providing intelligent alerts and proactive solutions directly within your team’s workflow—helping ensure your projects stay on time and on budget. 🚀 Check out the demo below! 👇 #startups #innovation #riskmanagement #AI #projectdelivery #Pathfinder
