Systems & Scale: Where platform strategy meets reality.

Written for technology and product leaders who manage enterprise platforms day-to-day. Practical observations from someone actively doing the work, not commenting from the sidelines. No fluff, no recycled advice; just honest takes on what's working, what isn't, and what to watch.

I also share shorter observations and commentary on enterprise tech and AI under @itspeteg across YouTube and Instagram. If you'd like Systems & Scale delivered to your inbox, subscribe below.

Governing AI Without Getting in the Way

TL;DR: Most AI governance responses are missing two specific gaps: the contract you signed predates the platform you’re now running, and the binary approved/not approved model doesn’t fit an environment where AI is embedded across the stack at varying levels of risk. Both are fixable.

TL;DR: AI is already inside most organisations, whether through vendor tools, employee habits, or leadership pressure. The real issue now is not whether to allow it, but how to identify where it is, what it is touching, and how to govern it without slowing the business down.If this piece resonated, share it with someone who is already trying to work out where AI is showing up inside their organisation.

OpenAI: The Side Quest Problem

TL;DR: OpenAI built the most recognised AI product in the world. Then spent 2025 launching video, hardware, a browser, shopping, and ads in what looked like an ecosystem play but felt more like building to be seen building.
