Where the firm thinks out loud.
Most of what gets published about AI and enterprise transformation is either vendor content, analyst speculation, or thought-leadership designed to sell something else. We write a different way. The pieces below come from inside the work — not from the seminar circuit, not from the press release pipeline. They’re the perspective of an operator who has made the calls, not a commentator describing them.
The goal is signal, not noise. Editorial, not promotional. Sharp where sharp is earned. Honest about what we don’t know. Useful to the kind of leader who reads carefully and has limited time.
A strategic field guide for leaders in an age of intelligent systems. Beyond the Model is the firm’s anchor written publication — essays, frameworks, and field reports for CIOs, COOs, Chief Strategy Officers, and Innovation Leaders. Published on Substack. Clear, practical insight on turning emerging technology into trusted, scalable capability — without hype, theater, or buzzwords.
Cory speaks at industry events, executive roundtables, and on podcasts about AI strategy, governance, enterprise transformation, and what operator-led leadership actually requires. Topics include navigating AI as a CIO, building responsible AI operating models, the structural shifts AI is forcing on enterprise business models, and what 28 years of operator experience inside Fortune 500 environments suggests about how to lead through this moment.
A snapshot of the themes the firm is currently writing, thinking, and speaking about. Each of these is an open question, not a settled answer — the writing is part of how we work through them.
