Writing
Ada’s writing explores leadership, technology, ecology, and presence as living questions rather than fixed positions.
Her work is written for people navigating responsibility in the face of uncertainty, leaders, practitioners, and institutions sensing that the tools that once worked no longer suffice.
This writing is not a commentary.
It is a practice of attention.
Across essays, reflections, and long-form work, Ada uses language to sense what is already moving beneath strategy, metrics, and narratives, and to give form to questions that cannot yet be answered.
Recent themes include:
Leadership as presence rather than performance
Technology as a relational force, not a neutral tool
Foresight as participation, not prediction
Ancestry, legacy, and long-term responsibility
Ada publishes regularly on Substack. Selected pieces are surfaced there as they are released.
Leadership Legacy
Leadership Legacy is Ada’s recently published book with Wiley, which brings together decades of work in foresight, systems thinking, and leadership development.
The book challenges dominant models of leadership built on control, optimisation, and short-term extraction, offering instead a framework rooted in Power, Paradox, and Presence.
Rather than presenting leadership as a set of competencies, Leadership Legacy reframes it as a relational practice, one that asks leaders to consider not only performance and outcomes, but the long-term consequences of their decisions on people, technology, and the living world.
At its core is a single guiding question:
What type of ancestor do you want to be?
The book is written for leaders, organisations, and institutions operating at moments of irreversible change, when familiar strategies no longer work, and new forms of sensemaking are required.
