Briefs and notes (ongoing)

Short reads that capture signals, patterns, and how-tos. We publish these progressively. Check back for updates.

  • Foresight in planning cycles: integrating horizons, scenarios, and trigger points into annual strategy. (coming soon)
  • Evidence loops: lightweight instrumentation for decision quality and learning velocity. (coming soon)
  • Public-private innovation rails: shared standards for ecosystems and incubator networks. (coming soon)
