February 26, 2026
Good evening all and welcome to the by now more than 2,100 Subscribers to my 2026 Newsletter. It even now includes one famous Rugby player and yes I freely admit I am no Rugby aficionada. Sticking with the knitting or what I know about football, the round ball kind, I think Michael Carrick deserves consideration for the long term job if he takes United to second place.
Remember, United still have to play Villa, are starting to get the 'squeaky bum' wins and I think have too much for Villa, so I am banking in 3rd place at the very least. Finishing second will entirely depend on the fallout from Arsenal now having a serious Title challenge from City and then who blinks and loses interest first. For both Clubs its win or bust and they won't care whether its 2nd or 3rd if they blow the Title.
Back to work for a moment. The AI Breakfast Briefing is almost full. You can Register via my website at: Register on Home Page for Breakfast Briefing and I now also have an option for you on Monday 23rd March at the same venue.
I have 6 slots remaining, the morning slot is gone, for a one hour 1:1 with me about Finance Transformation, Finance Shared Services or ERP Strategy. Its first come first served between 11am and 6pm. I can stay later if that is required so reach out if interested.
This offer went out on multiple channels today so I expect it won't last long. If you are an FD considering Transformation in 2026 you will need to email me direct with a timeslot and we can book you in.
I know many of you in London, Birmingham, Dublin and further afield have asked for one at your location and I am looking in to that.
If you do however want an onsite 1:1 at your own Office in the UK or Ireland, that is also an Option, however there would be a small Fee charged for that option. However, I know many people prefer these Discovery chats on their own turf so no issue there.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the 24th and as many of you on the 23rd that I can fit in.
All the best,
Michael.
