"Don't protect your knowledge; connect it." - Futurist Jim Carroll

"If I have an idea and you have an idea, we have two ideas. If we share those ideas, we have a movement!" That's what I wrote some years ago here in my Daily Inspiration, in a post talking about the power of collaborative insight.

In a collaborative world, the size, scope and reach of your 'idea movement' becomes even more important, and that's why you need to think about connecting your knowledge with other knowledge - rather than hoarding it.

We are on Day 10. You have set a Moonshot goal (Day 9) to grow 10x. Now you need the collaborative velocity to achieve it - you realise that more than likely, your internal 'brain trust' is too limited and too slow to gather and obtain the knowledge it needs to move forward.

Take a look around your current organisation or your personal network. Do you honestly believe the resources, knowledge, and talent currently within your four walls are sufficient to achieve that 10x goal?

Of course they aren't! They were assembled to achieve yesterday's 10% goals - not a 10x goal!

And therein lies the difference. In a linear world, power came from hoarding knowledge. You built high walls around your R&D lab, protected your trade secrets, and tried to hire the best people to work exclusively for you. Your internal capabilities defined your speed.

But in an exponential world, the speed of innovation outside your organisation will always exceed the speed of innovation inside it. There are more smart people outside your company than inside it. If you work on your own or in a small team, know that your knowledge is now, and will forever be, limited. There are more breakthrough startups working in your field than you have R&D teams; there are other teams who are working faster, smarter and better than you.

And in that context, you need to learn how to connect with them!

If you try to build everything yourself, you move at a linear pace. To move at an exponential pace, you must shift from "owning" knowledge to "accessing" it through rapid partnership.

I have been obsessed with this shift from "slow isolation" to "fast collaboration" for years. It is not just about working together; it is about how fast you can form the connection to solve the problem.

Read the full post to learn why this is now critical.

Futurist Jim Carroll identified the power of collaborative networks in a 1987 document he wrote called Linkage. It predicted the emerging concept of LinkedIn, which would not appear until 20 years later.

"The greatest risk today isn't the speed of change: it's your failure to pick up your pace." - Futurist Jim Carroll

We are on Day 8. You've committed to the pivot (Day 7). Now, you have to run.

That's why the principle you need to align to is "Velocity Alignment."
What is it? Matching your internal pace with external reality!

In a linear world, speed was a differentiator - the future belonged to the fast! Being faster than your competitor was a real advantage - if you mastered speed, you had what you needed to stay out in front in a competitive world. Speed wasn't a mad rush, though - you had the luxury of "measured paces," long development cycles, and five-year roadmaps.

Five-year roadmaps! As they say, LOL to that! In our faster world, you can barely plan for next month!

The sad truth is that in our new exponential world, speed is no longer a differentiator; it is the baseline requirement for existence. The external environment is accelerating so rapidly that if you don't do the minimum to keep up, you are guaranteed to not just fall behind - but perhaps, become rapidly irrelevant. our personal workflow, your team's processes, your organizational cadence—are still running on linear time, you are falling behind every single hour.

The interesting thing for me, as we head into 2026 in the context of the issue of speed, is that perhaps my book of 2012 is now out of date. The future no longer belongs to those who are fast - it belongs to those who are fluid!

Here's the key thing you need to ponder - the disconnect between external velocity and internal friction is where companies die, and careers stall.

The Evidence: 10 Ways Speed is the New Currency

Throughout my blog posts and keynotes, I have documented how the fundamental metrics of success have shifted toward velocity. CEOs have brought me in to talk to their teams to help them understand the reality of speed and the necessity for corporate velocity. The things I talk and write about aren't theoretical; it is the new operating reality across every sector.

Here are 10 examples from my analysis of how speed is now the primary metric:

(read the rest of the post in the link)

In an exponential world, speed is no longer just an advantage but the absolute baseline for survival.

You must immediately align your personal pace with this accelerating reality to avoid falling behind. That's the essence of Principle **#8** - velocity alignment!

Futurist Jim Carroll identified 'speed' as being the core metric for future success over 25 years ago.

Day 7? Let's focus on Relentless Reinvention, and why "staying the course" is the most dangerous strategy of all

Days 1 to 6? We've reset your clock, cleared your path, built your courage, turned on your radar, accelerated your learning, and embraced rapid mistakes.

Now, we arrive at the hardest emotional discipline of them all: knowing when to change - and doing the change.

In our old, slow-moving linear world, "staying the course" was a supreme virtue. Once you set a career path or a long-term leadership strategy, you stick to it. Changing direction mid-stream was seen as a sign of weakness, indecision, or flakiness.

But in an exponential world, "staying the course" when the terrain is fundamentally shifting beneath your feet isn't grit; it's suicide.

When technology, industries, or market dynamics shift exponentially, your current role, skill set, or leadership approach can become obsolete overnight. The most successful leaders in 2026 won't be the ones who cling the hardest to their past identities; they will be the ones with the agility to abandon a doomed path instantly and reallocate their personal energy to a new one.

In that context, the discipline you must master is Relentless Reinvention.

Reinvention? It's often known as 'the pivot.'

What Reinvention Looks Like in Real Life

It is easy to discuss the concept of the "pivot" in the abstract—as a strategic necessity on a whiteboard. It is much harder to recognize what it looks like in the trenches of real life.

In my book Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your New Future, I documented the journeys of individuals who faced this exact precipice, with several of the stories looking at their pivot during the pandemic of 2020. They didn't just "change jobs"; they fundamentally reinvented their skills, their time, and their identities to align with a new reality. You can get the book here.

Here is what Relentless Reinvention looks like in practice:

"Make more 'better' mistakes!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

In 2026, your new ROI should be ROF - "Return on Failure"

We are on Day 6. We've reset your clock, cleared the path, built your courage, turned on your radar, and accelerated your learning.

Now, we need to completely rewire your relationship with failure.

Why? Because, as the saying goes, in a fast world, innovators fail faster!

Think about it. In a linear, slow-paced world, mistakes were expensive, permanent, and career-limiting. You spent years perfecting a product or strategy behind closed doors to ensure a flawless "Big Bang" launch. The ultimate metric was ROI—Return on Investment—and "failure" meant negative ROI.

Those days are gone. In an exponential world, that math is backwards. The new reality is that not making mistakes fast enough is the biggest mistake of all.

If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't moving fast enough. You aren't testing the boundaries. You are operating on old assumptions while the world shifts beneath your feet.

In that context, your goal isn't to avoid failure; it's to maximize what you learn from it to do it better the next time, right away. Every failure gives you invaluable data, insight, and lessons about speed. You need to make more mistakes, make them faster, and make them better, meaning they are small, calculated experiments designed to yield maximum learning, not sloppy errors born of carelessness.

In other words, make more better mistakes!

You really need to understand why this is so important - read the post for more.

"Learn faster than knowledge appears. It’s your only sustainable advantage." - Futurist Jim Carroll

We are three days into resetting your mindset for 2026.

Day 5? It's all about learning velocity, and the fact that you need to stop relying on your degree and start learning for your life!

I want you to implant this idea firmly in your mind right now: skills decay. Add to that concept the idea of the half-life of knowledge. Layer on top of it my often-repeated phrase - the ability to master just-in-time knowledge is key.
The former is happening faster because the latter is becoming smaller. Once you understand that, you need much of what you need to know for 2026 - your ability to align and realign to the new velocity of knowledge will be key to everything you do.

Think about the change we are in the midst of. In a linear world, your education was a finite event. You went to college, got a degree, learned a trade, or got a set of professional skills, and that block of knowledge was something you could rely upon for a 30-year career with only minor maintenance.

But in an exponential world, knowledge is not just growing; it’s exploding. I've written about this a lot, but it bears repeating. I often share on stage the fact that the average half-life of a professional skill has collapsed from 10-15 years to just 5 years today. Or the fact that it is said that half of what you know today will be obsolete in five years, if not sooner. In some high-tech fields, that timeline is compressed even further, with knowledge potentially doubling in a matter of months or even hours.

This means that if you are relying on what you already know, i.e, with your past degree, your decade of experience, to carry you through 2026, you are driving on fumes. Your battery is empty, your mind is out of gas, and you'll soon hit the limit of where you can go.

Bottom line? The knowledge that got you here is decaying faster than you can replace it with linear learning methods.

In that context, the defining characteristic of a successful professional in 2026 will not be their stock of knowledge, but their rate of learning.

Principle 6? The discipline you must master is Learning Velocity.

We are three days into resetting your mindset for 2026. You understand the speed of change (Temporal Literacy), you’ve started clearing the deadwood (Self-Pruning), and you’re building the courage to act without perfect clarity (Ambiguity Tolerance).

Now, you need a radar system! One that allows you to do a better job of understanding what comes next, and what you need to know about it, long before you have to do anything about it! Way back in 2007, I wrote about the idea of this when I outlined my 'Trends & Innovation' Model.' Right there, at the top of this iterative loop, is the 'radar'. It's what you do to find the signals through the noise.

I'll come back to this in a moment - for now, keep the idea in mind.

Here's how things have changed with the model. In a linear world, change happened slowly enough that you could afford to be reactive. You could wait until a trend became obvious, analyze it, and then adapt. 

In an exponential world, by the time a trend is obvious, it's usually too late to leverage it.

That means if you are reading about a disruptive technology on the front page of a mainstream business site, the exponential opportunity phase is likely already over. You are now in the reactive phase, playing catch-up against those who saw it coming three years ago. And that's why the idea of Anticipatory Intelligence has become so important in 2026 - you need to work harder to stay ahead of the trends that might impact you, before the trends actually impact.

This is a problem for most folks. The mistake most professionals make is that they are so obsessed with managing the present—the daily fires, the quarterly results, the immediate emails—that they never lift their heads to scan the horizon. They are driving a 200-mph Ferrari while staring intently at the dashboard indicators, oblivious to the cliff approaching up ahead.

To lead in 2026, you need to shift from being reactive to being anticipatory. The discipline for this is Anticipatory Intelligence.

Here's what you need to do....

If Day 1 was about seeing the speed of the future, and Day 2 was about clearing the path, Day 3 is about finding the courage to walk it.

Particularly when you don't know what the hell is going on. Welcome to 2026!

Here's the thing about where we are today - in a linear world (aka "the olden days", say, 2 or 3 years ago), you could wait for clarity. You could gather 95% of the data, build a perfect consensus, and then make a low-risk decision.

That world is gone.

Today, the speed of change outpaces the speed of data collection.

You need to learn to make decisions despite a wild lack of clarity, a stunning amount of uncertainty, a scary amount of volatility, and a staggering degree of velocity.

Take a look around - everyone is faced with big, fast change, and don't know what to do about it! We've become a society of deer in the headlights, staring at the bright lights of oncoming exponential change, and yet don't know how to move out of the way - or jump right into it. (Weird metaphor, I know!)

Here's the thing - In every sector, the core uncertainty is the same: Trends are moving exponentially faster than our linear ability to regulate, build, or adapt to them.

If you wait for perfect clarity in this environment, you are waiting for a moment that will never arrive!

The discipline required to thrive here is Ambiguity Tolerance, and you need to master it.
