"When unimaginable headlines become reality, you've got to come up with once unimaginable strategies!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
If the future gets weird, maybe your strategies need to get weird as well.
Think about it: we are less than thirty days into 2026, and the rulebook hasn't just been rewritten—it’s been incinerated. We are witnessing a compression of history, where decades of change are now crammed into days. The definition of "stability" has evaporated, replaced by a relentless volatility that refuses to pause.
Headlines that were unimaginable a decade ago, let alone a year ago, are now common.
All of this means that if you are still operating on last year's logic, you aren't just behind; you are watching a different movie entirely. And this one isn't a rom-com, it's a horror show.
In that context, any comfort zone is gone. The headlines proving that "it can't happen here" are being printed daily. In this environment, caution is the most dangerous strategy of all. Thinking fast and moving faster is the only way through the mess.
To survive this year (and beyond), you need to dismantle your assumptions, destroy your complacency, and challenge your belief in stability..
You need to build strategies that feel as radical as the news cycle itself.
This means you have to stop planning for the probable and start preparing for the unimaginable.
Because the unimaginable is now reality.
After all, this week, Greenland, next week?

"Resilience is rarely a solo endeavor." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Sometimes it involves combining two working parts to build one functioning whole!
Just when I thought I had cornered the market on orthopedic drama in our household, the universe had second thoughts.
It turns out my wife has now torn her Achilles, meaning she is heading into a walking boot or cast just as I’m getting my walking stride back.
We have officially become a two-person logistics puzzle!
In the corporate world, I talk about "agile teams" and "complementary capabilities." Well, I am now living it. I have the legs, but still need to be cautious with the bending or the lifting. She has the upper body strength and the organizational skills, but is on crutches until she gets fitted with the proper walking boot.
Separately, we are both compromised. Together, if we coordinate our movements like a synchronized swimming team, we make one fully functional human being.
How's your 2026 going so far?
The lesson? We often think of resilience as "toughing it out alone." But real resilience—whether in a marriage or a company—is often about the humility to say, "I am the legs, you are the strategy." It’s about auditing your collective assets and realizing that while neither of you is 100%, together you can still move the needle forward.
True partnership is about combining the pieces that still work to build one functioning unit!
It’s going to be a long winter, but at least we know we can't run away from our circumstances. (Cue LOL!)
Onwards!
(Carefully).

The 1987 editorial "Tomorrow's Company Won't Have Walls" stands as one of the most accurate corporate prophecies of the modern era.
And it had a profound impact on my life.
It's probably fair to say that if I hadn't read it, I wouldn't have stepped out on my own to start my own company, chase my own career, do my own thing - and become a global freelancer, a nomadic worker, a lone wolf, long before the trend became real and the idea fashionable. Like I've said - I haven't had a job for 35 years, and I work really hard to not have to get a job!
It's worth reading, because it predicted with precision the modern organization of today.
Think about where we are now: many organizations don't define themselves by the depth of their staff - they do so by the reach of their skills network.
But in 2026 and beyond, the sophisticated reach of a networked organization is not enough.
It's no longer about the reach of your skills network, but also the speed with which they operate.
If they aren't as fast as you, it will slow you down even further, stunt your progress, and ruin your ability to align with exponential trends.
That's why, in 2026 and beyond, you have to stop letting slow partners kill your speed.
The Issue of Network Velocity
We are on Day 20. We have built your internal engine: You have the Unapologetic Uniqueness (Day 17), an Antifragile Mindset (Day 18), and Optionality Architecture (Day 19).
Do those things, and you are getting ready for our exponential world.
But as they say, "but wait, there's more!" Now, we must look outside.
You can have a Ferrari engine (your mindset), but if you are driving in a convoy of tractors (your partners), you are going to move at the speed of a tractor!
And here's the thing about what this means to the networked organization, and perhaps your role in it as a freelancer: in a linear world, we picked partners based on stability, history, and comfort. We stuck with the vendor we’d used for 20 years because "they know us."
In an exponential world, loyalty to the past is a guarantee for failure. If your supply chain, your technology vendors, or your peer group are evolving linearly while the market accelerates exponentially, they aren't just slowing you down.
They are anchors.
This means that another discipline you must master going forward is Network Velocity.
Learn why.

On 12 December, around 50 practitioners and leaders gathered in Hilversum, The Netherlands, with a shared feeling that something in the Agile conversation has stalled. What follows are the workshop's findings on how we can work to reimagine Agile. You can read the full report on the findings from this intensive workshop on our blog: https://agilealliance.org/reimagining-agility-shaping-the-future-of-agile-european-edition/

Lockgeräusche. Aber körpersprachlichen Aussagen kann T4, als #Hund vom Ursprung, natürlich weniger widerstehen. (Die Mehrheit der Menschen merken gar nicht, was sie sagen - das ist beim #Agility toll zu sehen. T2 kennt weder Mensch noch Hund auf dem Platz und sagt vorher: Jetzt kommt ein Fehler. Umstehende Zuschauer sind immer irritiert über die zutreffende Vorhersage)
T4 wird an der Front des Standes abgesetzt und T2 stellt sich schützend davor. ⅓ Aufmerksamkeit gehört den Gegenständen,

Get rid of the anchors that are keeping you back. The weights that are holding you down. The chains that bind you to yesterday. The barriers that block your way.
And the things that are slowing you down.
We are on Day 11. You've committed to connecting externally for speed (Day 10). Now you must look inside and confront the greatest enemy of internal velocity: complexity.
Your future depends on the idea of Radical Subtraction. It might not make sense, but to move faster in our exponential world, you need to stop adding things and take things away.
In our old, slow, linear world, we solved problems by adding. If there was a risk, we added a compliance step. If there was miscommunication, we added a meeting to fix it. If there was a new opportunity, we added a committee. If there were a disruption, we would develop a strategy to deal with it. Over time, this addition was seen as sophistication and control.
We added things to try to deal with the complexity the world was throwing at us.
But here's the thing - in an exponential world, this accumulated complexity is organizational cholesterol. It clogs the arteries of decision-making. Every extra approval layer, every redundant report, and every "alignment meeting" slows down your Execution Velocity (Day 8) and makes it impossible to achieve a Moonshot (Day 9).
I've long talked about this from the stage as the accumulation of 'organizational sclerosis.'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVgslECVwKw&t=2s
It's clogging up your future, slowing you down, killing your initiative. What is it? It's the condition where your arteries of creativity and initiative become clogged because everyone keeps doing things - even though no one remembers why they are doing them. It’s not just annoying; it’s a health hazard for your business that blocks the flow of new ideas.
And here's the thing - you cannot add your way to agility. When the world speeds up, your internal systems must simplify.
Here's why...

Futurist Jim Carroll has long been intensely frustrated with bureaucracy and organizational sclerosis - with that, perhaps, being the reason why he has worked as a solo entrepreneur for 35 years!
