Areas
The areas I work in. Each one lists the problems people arrive with, what I do, and the projects where it has already been done.
Digital platforms and ecosystems
A platform starts working not with interface design but with a model that holds together: clear value, participant roles, rules of interaction and a way to scale.
Who it is for: CEOs and strategy directors
Typical tasks
- Test whether the platform idea is viable
- Define the product core and the set of participants
- Build the partner acquisition model
- Prepare the launch and scaling plan
- Find why an existing project has stalled
Projects
Regulation of digital products
For a technology company regulation is not a final legal review but part of product and market strategy. State requirements, industry interests and product architecture have to be reconciled before scaling.
Who it is for: Technology companies at the scaling stage
Typical tasks
- Regulatory risk assessment
- Stakeholder map
- Preparing an industry position
- Designing an experimental legal regime
- Engagement with associations and public bodies
Projects
AI: from pilot to production
Most organisations can already run an AI demo. The hard part is embedding it in a process, assigning ownership, measuring quality and operating it safely.
Who it is for: CIOs and transformation leads
Typical tasks
- Selecting use cases with measurable effect
- Auditing a stalled pilot
- Defining data and ownership
- Acceptance criteria for a probabilistic output
- Vendor and scaling requirements
Russian software and technology resilience
Import independence is not swapping one product for another. It is managing dependencies, compatibility, the economics of the transition and the risks of running the result.
Who it is for: Large customers mid-migration
Typical tasks
- Assessing real dependency on foreign solutions
- Prioritising replacement by risk, not by licence count
- Compatibility and support requirements
- The economics of migration and cost of ownership
Projects
Education and talent
Digital transformation stalls on people, not technology. A training programme is a product like any platform: it has a customer, a model and a measurable result.
Who it is for: universities, development institutions, corporate universities
Typical tasks
- Assessment and review of curricula
- Designing continuing-education and digital-department programmes
- Learning-outcome requirements
- Linking universities and employers
Research and public analysis
A public position is worth exactly as much as the evidence under it. Papers, industry research and business-press columns are one body of work addressed to three audiences.
Who it is for: newsrooms, industry associations, research teams
Typical tasks
- Industry survey methodology
- Collecting and structuring evidence
- A data-backed public position
- Academic publication
