Good morning! Up at 6am and back in the saddle. It’s been a few years since I cycled regularly, but it felt great to get back to it. Back in 2021, I clocked up 300 miles for SAMH and dropped a few stone, cycling really is a game-changer for both physical and mental health.

On my way to Glasgow for the Gartner leadership symposium on leading public services in times of uncertainty. I’m particularly interested in anti-fragility and moving beyond resilience toward thriving in complex environments.

I had a great conversation today with Scottish Government statisticians about agile leadership and transformation. My key message? It’s not about digital or tech, it’s about people, the way we interact, and how we work together.
