The slow lengthening and shortening of the days over the course of year is a way of marking time which doesn’t work on the equator.
I’ve been gradually winding up consulting work I sold before deciding to move back home, so the last couple of months have been a lot of long-distance travel between Singapore and Europe.
I gave a talk on uncertainty, meaningmaking, and the future of work in Cologne, taught a course on competitive strategy in Reykjavik, and ran a board strategy session on advance warning and opportunity signals in London. Alongside, I’ve also been working on packaging up funded litigation for a sort of secondary sale and on getting the small-TAM cashflow model into focus.
Now, I’m in upstate New York where it is unseasonably warm and misty, and the days are short but lengthening again, sending you the very best wishes for 2025.
