Owen Hayes — Writer & Business Analyst

A Notebook in One Hand, a Spreadsheet in the Other

Last quarter I spent three mornings stress-testing a market-entry framework on a real project, then rewrote my notes into an article the same afternoon. That back-and-forth — doing the work, then explaining it — is pretty much how everything I publish gets made.

I cover business and business design: how organisations take shape, how strategies get stress-tested, and how good ideas either survive contact with reality or quietly fall apart. Whether you are mapping out your first business model or refining a process you have run for years, I try to write at the level where the thinking actually happens.

What You Can Expect Here

• Clear breakdowns of frameworks and concepts, without the jargon fog
• Honest takes on what works in practice versus what looks good on a slide
• Analysis grounded in current trends, not recycled conventional wisdom
• Practical starting points you can adapt to your own context

The analyst in me wants every claim to hold up under scrutiny. The writer in me wants it to be worth reading on a Tuesday morning with a coffee. I aim for both, every time.
