Business management
Strategy, organisational behaviour, operations and leadership. How firms are structured, how they decide under pressure, and why good execution beats a clever plan.
Business management · Economics · Public policy
I teach and write about how organisations and economies actually work: how they decide, where they fail, and what it takes to do better. My teaching spans business management, economics and public policy, and I write on the same questions in whatever format suits the argument, across the European Union, the United Kingdom and Malta.
Three connected fields, taught the same way: start from the real decision, set out the trade-offs, and test every claim against the evidence. I teach at university and professional level, and I design sessions around what a group actually needs to walk away able to do.
Strategy, organisational behaviour, operations and leadership. How firms are structured, how they decide under pressure, and why good execution beats a clever plan.
Micro and macro foundations, applied to the choices managers and governments really face. Prices, incentives, growth and productivity, and how to read the numbers without being fooled by them.
How policy is made, funded and evaluated, and the honest question underneath it: does the decision work, who pays for it, and who carries the risk if it does not.
How I teach
I have spent my working life close to how organisations and institutions decide, fail and recover. That is what I bring to the room: real cases, current examples, and frameworks people can use the next morning rather than admire in a slide.

Writing, in different formats
Long-form essays that take one decision at a time and show the working. Shorter opinion pieces and policy analysis. Editorial cartoons when an argument lands harder as a picture, and video when the point moves better than it sits still. I also write to commission for organisations and public figures who want the same clear, sourced approach applied to their own subject.
The EU is cutting €37.5 billion of administrative cost against a €750 to €800 billion annual investment gap. Simplification is about five per cent of the diagnosis. The other ninety-five per cent is capital.
UK public wealth went from a quarter of national income in 1970 to minus £695.7 billion. Where it went, why taxes no longer buy services, and how to rebuild the state as a shock absorber.
Britain is not short of money. It holds trillions in long-term pension and insurance capital. The growth problem is where that money goes, not whether it exists.
Lecturing and speaking
Tell me the audience, the subject and the format you have in mind, and I will come back with a straight answer on fit, availability and how I would approach it.
