Field notes from senior practitioners.
A monthly bulletin for people who run businesses — written by people who have. Senior insight, sector commentary, transformation case notes, and the occasional uncomfortable truth. No fluff. No filler. No posts dressed up as articles.
Four things in every issue.
Each Grant & Graham Bulletin lands on the first working Monday of the month. The format is consistent so you know what to expect — and so the contributors know what is being asked of them.
One feature article
A long-form piece from one of our senior consultants on a current transformation, leadership, or commercial topic. Around 1,500–2,500 words, written from the practitioner’s seat — not summarised from an analyst report.
Sector commentary
Short, sharp observations from the sectors we work in — FinTech, SaaS, AI, Aerospace, Healthcare, Energy, and the rest of our 20+. What is shifting, what is overhyped, and what we are watching closely on behalf of clients.
Field notes
A real anonymised observation from the consulting front line. A turnaround that worked. A board dynamic that did not. A leadership decision worth understanding. The lessons we would pay to learn but won’t make you.
Reading we recommend
Three or four genuinely useful pieces from elsewhere — books, papers, podcasts, articles. Selected by the editorial team. No affiliate links, no paid recommendations, no padding. Just things worth your time.

When the system is fine. The leadership isn’t.
Tony Sleper unpacks why the majority of ERP transformations don’t fail on the platform — they fail in the boardroom. A practitioner’s view from the inside, drawing on three live programmes and one quiet recovery.

Why the Bulletin reads differently.
There are a lot of newsletters. Most are written to fill a publishing schedule. Ours is written to be worth opening.
Practitioners only
Every article is written or co-authored by a Grant & Graham senior consultant who has held the role they are writing about. No content marketers reading up on your industry.
One issue, fully edited
One bulletin per month. Each piece passes through editorial review before publication — for clarity, accuracy, and the genuine view of the author. No drip-fed content padded into a series.
No upsell, no funnel
The Bulletin is not a lead magnet. We do not run automated sequences off subscribers. If we ever do reach out personally it is because something specific seems relevant — and you can always say no.
The next bulletin lands on —.
Twenty seconds to subscribe. Ten minutes a month to read. No spam, no upsell, no risk — just senior insight from people who have done the job.
