Long-form thinking on Unit4, AI and council ERP

Pieces written for senior council leadership — S.151 Officers, Directors of Financial Management, Heads of Systems, HR Directors. Programme architecture, AI deployment governance, audit-grade control design. No content marketing fluff.

PLACEHOLDER — not for publication. The articles below are scaffolding for the visual template. No content has been invented. Suggested first three pieces, drawing from completed work: (1) why five-pillar Unit4 programmes fail in S.114 environments; (2) how to deploy a RAG-based HR chatbot in a council without breaching information governance; (3) the audit memo standard — from abwabsbalance evidence to S.151 sign-off. Replace this banner with real articles before launch.

This page launches with content, not before

An empty Insights page is worse than no Insights page. Ship this section once at least three substantive pieces are drafted, edited, and ready to stand behind. Senior council buyers will judge the quality of the thinking — there is no recovering from a thin first impression.
