WHERE LEADERS RETHINK HOW STRATEGY WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD
The traditional approach to strategy is broken.
In a world that won’t sit still, leaders can’t rely on outdated models built for stability and control.
Strategy Meets Reality is a podcast for leaders, strategists, and thinkers who want real insight—not theory. Hosted by organisational psychologist and systems thinker Mike Jones, each episode cuts through the noise with honest conversations from people who’ve lived the complexity, made the tough calls, and rethought what strategy means in practice.

Ep. 24 When Strategy Meets Security: Glenn Wilson on Technical Debt, Developer Voice, and Defensive Thinking
Strategy and cybersecurity fail for the same reasons: complexity without clarity, tools without purpose, and teams without voice.
In this episode, Glenn Wilson—cybersecurity expert and founder of Dynaminet—joins Mike Jones to explore the shared challenges of executing strategy and securing organisations. From technical debt to commander's intent, they discuss how resilience comes not from control, but from adaptability and empowered learning at the edge.
This isn’t a tech talk—it’s a leadership conversation about what breaks in real organisations, and what to do instead.
