Ideas Happen!
This blog is where I lay it all out: ideas, insights, wins, stumbles, and the scar tissue that came with them. No fluff, just real stories and lessons from the trenches. If you want practical takeaways and straight talk shaped by experience, you’re in the right place.

So little doing! Soooo much noise!!!
AI isn’t failing because it lacks potential. It’s failing because the energy is misdirected. Vendors oversell frictionless transformations, executives over-strategise, and engineers quietly watch the gap between talk and traction widen. The pattern is obvious: too much noise, not enough doing. Sam Altman calls it the “fast-fashion era of SaaS.” Arthur de Vaublanc sees hype posts that feel like Ponzi schemes. Gregor Hohpe warns that the miracle-cure sellers drown out the real

Great ideas rarely fail because they are weak. They fail because we hesitate too long.
I’ve seen it too many times. A breakthrough supplier brings a technology that could transform a prefab line’s QA process. The numbers...


The Future of Construction TECH Summit
The Future of Construction TECH Summit is just around the corner, and it is fast becoming one of the most important events for our industry. It is where construction leaders, innovators, and disruptors come together to address the massive challenges and opportunities facing the sector. Productivity, sustainability, workforce transformation, and technology all converge at this event, making it truly pivotal. I’ll be speaking on Field Technology & Robotics: Aligning Innovation


Noise or doing? AI in heavy industries must decide.
Heavy industries (construction, mining, advanced manufacturing, etc) are drowning in AI noise. There’s no shortage of ideas, strategy...


Emerging Tech Insight: AIM Intelligent Machines
Heavy industries run on iron, fuel, and labour. Yet for decades the biggest bottlenecks have been the same: unpredictable downtime,...


Why do we let humans stumble, yet demand perfection from machines?
Remove to Improve Vs Capability Catalyst This contradiction has haunted robotics and automation for decades, stalling adoption in...


Emerging Tech Insight: Presien
This shatters complacency. Physical AI in heavy-industry is not theoretical. It is operating on sites right now. Many the players in...

Innovation Theatre OR Innovation to Impact? What type of innovation effort are you running?
🚀 Innovation is NOT just a shiny demo or flashy pilot. Too many projects in heavy industries stumble because teams chase optics instead...


BAM! The first P.O. just landed!… 14 months in the making! 😢
You’ve pitched it. Demo’d it. Iterated. Got ghosted. Re-pitched. Waited. Chased. Got told “not yet.” Got told “too soon.” Went quiet....


Robots don’t take jobs, they've rewritten them... but the construction industry barely blinked.
Productivity in construction has bled out over decades. Billions lost. Margins razor-thin. Safety, predictability, workforce retention,...


Robots are ready, but construction’s still stuck in reverse.
Every year, more robots pirouette online courtesy of Boston Dynamics , Agility Robotics , Unitree Robotics and the like! Leaping,...


🤔 You can’t build it without capital.
You can’t get capital without trust. You can’t build trust without building it. Welcome to the deep tech paradox 🤪 But here’s the thing:...


We don’t have a robot problem. We have a people, pricing, and policy problem.
We need robotics in heavy industries. We need them in construction, mining, logistics, advanced manufacturing. Not next decade, now....
