In 2025, your best chance of unlocking hidden opportunities is to recruit an "irregular" network. 🔍
This lesson from Sherlock Holmes is as relevant to corporate leaders and entrepreneurs today as it was on the smoggy streets of London in 1888.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

I asked ChatGPT "Where is the boundary between the anterior cranial fossa and the right fontal sinus?" and then requested the answer on a picture or diagram.
The answer illustrates the danger zone of generative AI results that are plausible but very wrong.

@martinsandbu.bsky.social in your excellent "The Economics of Belonging", you mention that in Sweden, "employers organisations are held responsible for worker reallocation schemes to find new nobs for workers who are let go" - can you point me towards the legislation? Many thanks!
