This is what geoeconomics looks like in practice. Security, trade, capital, and values colliding in real time. The firms planning for scenarios will outperform the ones betting on calm. buff.ly/jC2pvYs

The most overlooked fact in this crisis: the US already has near-total military access to Greenland under existing treaties. That makes the acquisition rhetoric revealing rather than strategic. buff.ly/fqkFVM8

Greenland is not about land. It is about leverage. Minerals. Missile defense. Arctic routes. And whether alliances still constrain great power behavior or merely slow it down. buff.ly/fqkFVM8

I watched the Greenland situation unfold in real time. This is not a territorial dispute. It is a stress test of NATO credibility, alliance economics, and how power actually gets exercised in 2026. buff.ly/fqkFVM8

Strong scenario planning does not eliminate surprise. It reduces confusion. The difference between high-performing organizations and the rest is not better prediction. It is a faster, cleaner response when assumptions break. This article digs into why. buff.ly/QnvF8Et

Seeing risk is not the same as acting on it. Many leaders recognize scenarios unfolding and still cannot move without reopening budgets, incentives, and authority. That is not a forecasting problem. It is an infrastructure problem. I explore that distinction here. buff.ly/QnvF8Et

If your scenario planning ends with a deck in SharePoint, you are not building readiness. You are building documentation. The real test is simple: when conditions shift, does capital move, and do decisions change? This piece explains why most organizations stall and what to fix. buff.ly/QnvF8Et

Most organizations do not fail because they missed the future. They fail because nothing changes after they discuss it. Scenario planning without decision rights, incentives, and capital flexibility turns foresight into commentary. buff.ly/QnvF8Et
The Mistake Leaders Make When They Say “We Already Do Scenario Planning”
