How to Stop Subsidising Unprofitable Customers, Channels, and Products (Without Destroying Growth)

February 12, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Cost-to-Serve Truth Executive Summary Many organisations think they have a margin problem when they actually have a cost-to-serve problem. Two customers can buy the same product at the same price—yet one is highly profitable while the other quietly destroys value. The difference is not always revenue. It is how much it costs to serve...

The Forensic Playbook — Your First 72 Hours

February 3, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

How to preserve evidence, control the narrative, and make decisions you can defend—fast. When an incident breaks—fraud, cyber compromise, inventory shrinkage, procurement abuse—the first 72 hours decide the outcome. Most organisations lose leverage because they (1) delay preservation, (2) interview too early without evidence, (3) contaminate logs and devices, or (4) chase symptoms instead...

January 29, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary For many Caribbean and emerging-market organisations, the workforce is both the largest cost line and the largest competitive advantage. Yet most talent problems are misdiagnosed. Leaders often assume performance issues can be solved by hiring more people or paying more. In reality, the biggest productivity gains usually come from clarity, capability, accountability, and...

Executive Summary Cybersecurity is no longer an “IT issue.” It is a business risk—impacting cash, reputation, operations, customer trust, regulatory exposure, and even survival. For many organisations, the cyber conversation is trapped between two extremes: either (1) technical jargon that leadership cannot translate into decisions, or (2) superficial checklists that create false comfort. What leaders...

ERP in Supply Chain Management: Building an End-to-End, Data-Driven Value Chain

January 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Supply chains fail most often at the “handoffs”—where demand planning doesn’t match purchasing, purchasing doesn’t match inventory reality, inventory doesn’t match production schedules, and production doesn’t match logistics capacity. An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system reduces these breaks by aligning data, workflows, and accountability across the full supply chain. When implemented well, ERP improves forecast...
