This week, we’ve gathered five insights to help you see what’s really happening around us, the ideas and trends that are easy to miss, the hype we can finally stop chasing, and the approaches that might change how we work, lead, and teach.
1️⃣ Why Greenland is a signal of a shifting global system.
Our latest Strategic Alert explains why Greenland is not a geopolitical sideshow, but a signal that the global system businesses rely on is being rebuilt. Dean shares what’s on our radar, why it matters, and provides 3 moves for leaders to take in the next 90 days.

2️⃣ The risks we can see coming (but still ignore).
In this free LinkedIn Live, Graeme Codrington and Dean van Leeuwen will address the big, obvious changes we see coming but often delay acting on. (What our team at TomorrowToday refer to as the Grey Elephants.)
They’ll also explore what leadership really looks like in a BANI world – Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible, and why old playbooks no longer fit. A practical, reflective conversation on seeing change more clearly and making better decisions when uncertainty is the only constant.

3️⃣ Stop Chasing Hype – Focus on What You Can Actually Achieve in 2026.
Last week on The Money Show, Graeme Codrington shared what the team at TomorrowToday expects 2026 to bring. A thoughtful take on where to focus, and how to navigate chaos and complexity.
Could 2026 be the year we stop chasing hype and promises, and start focusing on what we can actually achieve? Listen here…
4️⃣ Is your strategy igniting or backfiring?
2026 won’t reward good intentions: it will reveal strategies that can’t deliver. Is your team committed but stretched, stressed, or change-fatigued? Dean van Leeuwen calls this the Backfire Strategy Zone – where strategies look impressive but deliver very little. The choice isn’t just success vs. failure; it’s ignition vs. backfire. Curious how to tell which side your strategy is on? Read Dean’s full post here.
5️⃣ What if teaching started with connection?
Imagine if teachers had the time, tools, and permission to first build relationships before the teaching started. Jude Foulston argues that, too often in 2026, we forget that teaching is human work, prioritising grades and outdated curricula over connection. And we think teachers would agree?
And of course, this isn’t limited to schools! The first block of any of our team’s Leadership Development Programmes is always, first and foremost, about building connections – both between the delegates and the facilitators. This crucial step sets the tone for deep personal engagement and the foundation for everything that follows.
It’s time to rethink education.
