The Horizon Problem

Why Transformations Fail - and What Actually Works

A narrative leadership novel for executives and transformation leaders. Set inside a regulated financial institution, the story explores why large organizations struggle to transform even when they adopt the right language, frameworks, and structures.

What the book is about

  • Leadership debt and invisible constraints.
  • Incentives versus intent.
  • Decision-making under uncertainty.
  • Governance as a social system, not a checklist.
  • How organizations relearn how to learn.

Who it is for

CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, senior leaders in regulated industries, transformation leaders, product leaders, HR leaders, finance leaders, and executive education audiences.

If you liked the format of management novels such as The Phoenix Project or The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this book uses narrative to make organizational dynamics visible.
