This week the TomorrowToday team is asking: What if the future arrived earlier than expected? What if long-term thinking, radical longevity, and geopolitical shifts weren’t just future scenarios — but today’s leadership challenges? Here are five signals shaping the next decade — and how your organisation can respond with clarity, purpose, and a competitive edge.

 

🌏 What If Long-Term Thinking Became the Global Norm?

China isn’t just planning for the next election cycle — they’re planning for 2049. In a recent speech, Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned against global short-termism, reinforcing China’s long-term strategic posture. This mindset is a sharp contrast to the reactive leadership we often see in Western boardrooms.

Graeme recently unpacked what this means for Bionic Businesses — organisations that lead with vision, not just agility. You can watch that video here.

🧬 What If Living to 150 Became the Norm?

Medtronic — one of our long-time clients — just launched a bold campaign in New York’s Grand Central Station: What would you do if 150 was your new life expectancy?  It’s more than clever marketing. It’s a signal that health, longevity, and technology are converging faster than ever.

At TomorrowToday, we help future-focused companies prepare for this kind of world — using tools like our 3D Strategy and Five Bionic Enablers to align leadership, elevate teams, and embed tech with purpose.

🐘 Grey Elephants: When the “Unthinkable” Is Obvious in Hindsight.

In 2016, we warned that Trump’s victory was not just possible — it was probable. It was a classic Grey Elephant moment: a visible, high-impact force of change that most ignored.

Today, the elephants are charging again — AI, aging populations, geopolitical instability, and shifting consumer values. The question is: will your organisation be ready next time?
