164<p>Welcome to <em>Parrots and Paperclips</em>. I started this blog as a place to stretch my thinking and share what I’m learning, connecting new ideas in strategy and technology with the lessons I’ve picked up along the way. It’s part research notebook, part playful exploration — a space where curiosity leads and the odd metaphor sneaks in to keep things colourful.</p>
