Executive portfolio clarity: helping leadership teams see what their investment portfolios are actually doing.
Who they are
What Nsight does.
Nsight is Michael Aizicowitz's advisory firm in Melbourne. Michael is an Executive Portfolio Clarity Advisor. He helps leadership teams see what their investment portfolios are actually doing, which is often different from what the reporting shows. When the reporting says green, delivery feels red and millions are being spent without a clear answer on value, his work comes back to five questions: are we investing in the right things, prioritising the right things, delivering the right things and measuring the right outcomes, and how do we know?
Michael trained in accounting, audit, risk and banking before moving into transformation, so his first question is why you're investing in something and what evidence supports it, rather than whether the project is on track. His work includes AGL's $400M annual portfolio and $300M flagship program, where the CEO adopted his value models for board and media communications; best-in-bank forecast accuracy at ANZ, within 5% of budget; and Australia Post, $80M a year and more than $500M over the life of the program. Momentum Energy and Asahi add further depth.
