Most VC/PE fund back-offices weren't designed.

They were assembled.

A fund admin here. A reporting tool there. A spreadsheet that only one person understands. A new hire to manage the mess the last tool created.
It works — until the next fund closes and suddenly everything that was "good enough" is now the thing slowing down every LP request, every audit, every board prep.

The problem isn't the tools. It's that no one ever designed the system those tools were supposed to support.

Fund admins execute. Your tech stack runs. Your vendors deliver.

But who designed what they execute, run, and deliver — and whether it actually holds together at $500M the same way it did at $200M?

That's the question most CFOs don't get to ask until something breaks.

→ We work with VC/PE funds $200M–$2B+ to design that system before it breaks. Happy to share how.

Who really keeps the healthcare system standing after discharge? Hint: it’s not hospitals, insurers, or clinicians—it’s families. Millions of Americans are performing skilled clinical work for free, yet no one measures it. This article reveals the hidden load-bearing layer of U.S. healthcare—and why ignoring it is destabilizing the system.

Part II of When "Value" Abandons the Patient Author’s Note: My work focuses on how complex systems define and govern value—and how narrow metrics create blindspots that misallocate responsibility and risk. In healthcare, those blindspots are operationally visible.

Happy New Year!

BNB Consulting is extending its value governance work into healthcare—an industry where measurement and accountability failures carry material human and financial consequences.

In 2026, We are combining lived, first-hand experience navigating the healthcare system with my professional work in governance and decision frameworks. The result is The Unmeasured System, a new article series examining how incentives, metrics, and accountability shape real outcomes in healthcare.

The first article, “Cost Displacement Is Not Savings,” introduces a Healthcare Value Framework designed to establish a shared vocabulary and analytical lens for executives, boards, funders, policymakers, innovators, and the patients and families affected by system decisions.

Healthcare isn’t getting cheaper—it’s getting better at obscuring where costs go. Shorter stays and reduced spend often signal value failure, not efficiency, while unpaid caregiving has become the system’s invisible balance sheet.
If you want to understand where value is truly created—or systematically lost—in healthcare, I invite you to follow The Unmeasured System and join the conversation.

Part I of When "Value" Abandons the Patient Author’s Note: My expertise focuses on value—how complex systems define and govern it, and where misdefined value distorts outcomes. In my Value Framework (“The Thing About Value Is.

The optimal organizational structure for any enterprise is one that wisely balances autonomy with accountability. Too much autonomy and as a leader you find yourself having a hard time "herding cats" and losing the direction of the company. Too much accountability and you may be introducing excessive red tape in the system preventing value creation. Culture, with strong values and principles, executes on what is not prescribed.

As we’ll see, certain elements which we consider part of the normal workplace are being abandoned by experimenting companies in favor of new models. But why are they being abandoned? For some, it’s about reducing overhead. For others, it’s about finding new ways to combat the traditional probl...

As technology becomes more pervasive, the role of the CIO is constantly challenged, and to survive they need to evolve. Here is a sound analogy: CIOs are more like "HR leaders" of technology than managers of it.

With technology and business change accelerating, CIOs must work with C-suite counterparts to update IT governance policies and practices for the digital age.

Fully integrating human and digital capabilities in the finance function entails a journey best done in three stages: ignite, professionalize, and scale and sustain.
