Paul Sweeney

Better questions.
Better thinking.

For more than two decades I have worked at the intersection of strategy, leadership, organisational change and technology.

Today my work spans writing, publishing and advisory work.

I am the author of Magnetic Nonsense and publisher of Fieldwork.

Advisory Work

Supporting leaders and organisations tackling difficult questions, organisational challenges and emerging technologies.

Selected Questions
  • What if the most important questions in your organisation are the ones no one is asking?
  • How do leaders make good decisions when the future cannot be predicted?
  • Why do organisations keep adopting ideas that demonstrably do not work?
  • What does meaningful progress look like beyond growth and efficiency?
