We think we know how projects get faster.
Add people. Add hours. Push harder.
Except… that’s not what actually makes them faster.
The truth? Speed isn’t just about velocity. It’s about physics. About re-sequencing dependencies, collapsing milestones, removing resistance before it shows up and knowing which levers matter when.
That’s why my podcast host, Greg Lawton, wrote The Physics of Project Acceleration. It’s the first framework I’ve seen that treats project timelines like an engineering problem, not a motivational one.
Greg asked me to contribute my own sections, Micah’s Milestones & Missteps, where I share the exact plays we ran to turn a 14-day critical delay into just 2 days lost. No heroics. No 80-hour weeks. Just the right moves in the right order.
Inside the book you’ll find:
The 8 types of acceleration and how to diagnose which one fits your situation
33 proven techniques for compressing schedules without burning teams out
How to measure the impact of acceleration so you don’t just “feel” faster… you are faster
Real-world case studies from data centers to capital projects that cut weeks or months off delivery
If you lead projects where time equals millions or where your credibility is on the line, this is the playbook you didn’t know you were missing.
P.S. Preorders are £39 / $49 and include free access to the first two chapters + a live launch event on September 1. Early readers from Intel, Laing O’Rourke, and BAE Systems are already calling it “a masterpiece”.
Is Shadow IT already in your organization?
You wouldn’t allow unmanaged devices on your network, so why allow unmanaged AI into your meetings?
Shadow IT is becoming one of the biggest blind spots in cybersecurity.
Employees are adopting AI notetakers without oversight, creating ungoverned data trails that can include confidential conversations and sensitive IP.
Don't wait until it's too late.
This Shadow IT prevention guide from Fellow.ai gives Security and IT leaders a playbook to prevent shadow AI, reduce data exposure, and enforce safe AI adoption, without slowing down innovation.
It includes a checklist, policy templates, and internal comms examples you can use today.
