Webinars and field notes
for the room where the budget lives.

No gated whitepapers, no maturity-curve infographics. Two things: live and on-demand webinars with the operators doing the work, and field notes — narrative essays on what's actually keeping CTOs, CISOs and CIOs up at night, told through the enterprise vendors living it.

Sit in the room, not the recording.

One live session a month with a named operator, plus a library of replays you can actually finish — each one tied to a real program a vendor ran.

The Cloud + AI Cost Equation: what the FinOps dashboard won't show you

Every CIO has the cost dashboard. Almost none of them can explain the line that doubled last quarter. We pull apart a real consolidation — where the spend hid, which workloads were quietly subsidising the AI bill, and the three questions that turned the curve.

Securing the LLM Supply Chain

Field notes

Six stories from the edge of the org chart.

Not trend reports. Essays. Each one starts with something that actually happened to a CTO, CISO or CIO — and ends somewhere you didn't expect. Each names the vendor at the center of it.

CISOShadow AI · data exfiltration

The chatbot nobody approved

A security chief goes looking for a data leak and finds three hundred employees who'd quietly hired an assistant. The breach wasn't the model. It was the silence around it.

CIOCloud cost · FinOps

The bill that grew in the dark

The invoice doubled and nobody could say why. A CIO stopped asking what things cost and started asking who decided — and found the answer was nobody.

CTOPlatform engineering · developer velocity

The road you pave is the road they take

A CTO tried to make 600 engineers do the right thing with a policy. It failed. Then he tried something quieter — and discovered governance is mostly a paving problem.

CISOZero trust · identity

Everyone was already inside

A CISO spent a decade building a taller wall. Then a contractor's laptop walked straight through it, and she realized she'd been defending the wrong thing the whole time.

CTOAgentic AI · production reliability

What the demo doesn't tell you

The agent demo got a standing ovation. Eleven weeks later it was quietly turned off. The gap between a thing that works on stage and a thing you can trust on Tuesday.

CIOModernization · technical debt

The twelve-year-old app that runs the company

Everyone wanted to replace it. Nobody dared. A CIO's quiet rebellion against the rewrite — and the case for modernizing the thing you're afraid to touch, one layer at a time.
