Tug-of-War: Why Paradoxes Define Modern Business A clear theme is emerging across industries and countries: business leaders are navigating a level of complexity unlike anything they’ve seen before. According to a PwC Annual Global CEO Survey, 40% of CEOs believe their organisations will not be economically viable in 10 years if they stick with their existing strategies. This is a reflection of a business environment where the traditional rules no longer apply. This sense of urgency is driven by an environment characterised by rapid technological, geopolitical, and economic shifts. The dynamic nature of modern business demands decision-making models that are more adaptive, collaborative, and fast-moving than previous approaches allow. Leading a company or team is no longer about having the…

Rooted Leadership: What Business Can Learn from the Natural World The modern business landscape pushes for relentless acceleration, propelled by an undercurrent of continuous innovation, rapid scaling, and an 'always-on' operational mindset. Leaders are under pressure to deliver continuous growth and chase new milestones which often inadvertently cultivate a "hustle" culture. However, this pursuit of acceleration exacts a heavy toll: employee burnout, resource depletion, and a struggle for sustained relevance. We have collectively fallen for the myth of endless productivity, believing that the more efficient our processes, the more work we can (and should) undertake. This mindset traps us in a loop of constant doing, neglecting the essential value of pause, renewal, and strategic timing. In contrast, the natural world…

The Leader’s Role in Everyday Learning The future of work is evolving faster than most organisations can redesign their training strategies. Technology is accelerating, careers are lasting longer, roles are constantly being reshaped, and work itself is becoming more flexible and fragmented. In a landscape that never stops shifting, the ability to learn is what enables people and organisations to keep moving forward. The traditional career ladder has given way to a far more fluid and unpredictable landscape. Careers no longer move neatly upward, rung by rung. Instead, they look more like a maze full of twists, dead ends, unexpected openings, and opportunities that appear only when you turn a corner. You navigate the maze by exploring, backtracking, trying new…

That's right, the label 'unicorn' was born. In the world of business, a unicorn isn't a mythical creature fresh out of a fantasy novel. Rather, it is an exceptional title granted to private companies or startups valued over a whopping $1 billion. Just as elusive and awe-inspiring as their fictional namesakes, these companies embark on the adventurous journey from mere concepts to billion-dollar businesses. But the unicorn landscape has dramatically changed. Seeing a startup reach unicorn status is no longer a rare…

Is Your Organization Facing an Innovation Crisis? Low Innovation Scores Predict Bankruptcy in Just 2 to 3 Years What if the key to a company’s survival and success could be measured as precisely as its financial performance? For Professor Grant Burgess, a bacteriologist turned innovation expert, this question became the driving force behind a groundbreaking discovery. Through decades of experience in pure research and biotechnology, trying to understand how best to commercialise his ideas, he uncovered a startling reality: innovation isn’t just a buzzword it’s a measurable, quantifiable force that can determine whether a business thrives or fails. His journey, which began with studying the intricate workings of bacteria, led him to develop a revolutionary method to measure innovation. The…
