The Communication Problem Hiding in Plain Sight

Every organisation says communication is important. It's in the values statement. It's mentioned in town halls. It's the topic of at least one offsite every year. And yet, communication breakdowns remain one of the most expensive problems organisations face. Not because leaders don't care about communication. But because they're solving the wrong problem.

IFRS 18 – The New Era in Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

Though the effective date is 1 January 2027, the 2026 comparatives in the 2027 financial statements need to be based on IFRS 18. This means that entities need to work on the IFRS 18 presentation and disclosure requirements from 2026.

Can You Prove Your Training Is Working?

Somewhere in your organisation right now, someone has approved a budget for management training. Maybe it was you. The programme looks good on paper, the facilitators are credible, and the feedback forms at the end of the sessions will almost certainly come back positive. People tend to enjoy training days. Free lunch, time away from the desk, a speaker who tells them things they half-knew but hadn't articulated.

The Play Advantage: 4 Real Examples of How Leaders Turn New Lenses Into Growth and Success

In the first article, we saw that humans don’t just experience reality through senses, but through stories. Those stories shape everything from money and status to what a conflict “means” at work. They help us function and collaborate, but they also become dangerous when we forget they are stories and start treating them as reality itself.

Play With Reality: From Fixation to New Possibilities

“Human beings are the only species who believe in things that don’t exist.” (Yuval Noah Harari) Did you know that every animal in nature experiences the world in a unique way? Bats “see” the world through sound waves, sharks sense electrical fields, and flies taste the world through their feet (thank god we’re not). Each of them perceives only part of reality, through the senses and filters that nature gave them.

Payroll Compliance in 2026: Three Areas Where Teams Still Get Caught Out

Payroll rarely goes wrong with a bang. It usually slips quietly. A deadline gets missed because approvals come in late. A pay element is added but nobody checks the knock-on effect. Holiday pay is calculated the way it always has been, until one employee queries it and suddenly it becomes a bigger issue.

Sage Payroll in 2026: Why “the system will handle it” is still the fastest route to payroll stress

If you use Sage Payroll, you already have a strong system. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: most payroll mistakes don’t happen because Sage is wrong. They happen because the set-up, the process, and the checks around Sage aren’t tight enough.

Jube Review

Transaction monitoring sits at the heart of modern AML frameworks, yet many firms still treat it as an abstract compliance requirement rather than what it really is: a live, operational system that must work every day. Poor monitoring leads to missed risk, overwhelming false positives, frustrated staff, and serious regulatory exposure.

Pelmo International Review

There are lots of organisations that say they develop leaders and improve communication. Far fewer actually understand how messy, nuanced, and culturally loaded those things are in real workplaces. That is why Pelmo International caught my attention.

CCL Academy Review

The defining strength of CCL Academy is its clear and deliberate focus on financial services. Their work spans the full range of regulated activities including banking, wealth and asset management, brokerage and insurance, with a particularly strong emphasis on compliance and regulatory training. This is specialist territory, and it is treated as such.
