… need to deal with are horizontal & multidisciplinary.

The risks identified are “interdependent, recursive and mutually reinforcing”, harder to anticipate.

The report offers plenty of ideas & recommendations on how companies can remain strategically competitive in 2026.

Bruxelas não vê “comparação” entre acções de Trump na Venezuela e ameaças sobre a Gronelândia UE apela ao respeito pelo direito internacional e evita críticas à intervenção militar dos EUA. Uma posição “tíbia” para manter Trump comprometido com a Ucrânia, mas que pode ter efeito de ricochete.

Como sempre, excelente conversar com a @ritasiza.bsky.social do @publico.pt sobre este momento definidor para a Europa: www.publico.pt/2026/01/05/m...

A preparar o Bingo para 2026.

Posso basicamente repetir o Cartão de Bingo Geopolítico para 2025 publicado na @revistasabado em janeiro passado: www.sabado.pt/opiniao/conv...

Embora o objetivo não seja prever mas sim antecipar e preparar, os números 16, 31, 33, 50 andaram perto!

2025 foi calmo, mas bom. Tal como 2024, tive um ano saudável, quase sem stress e com espaço para ouvir, aprender, ler, escrever e correr 🏃‍♂️

O Ano Novo será de colheita🌾

Muito obrigado e os melhores votos para 2026 a todos os que me acompanharam nesta caminhada 🫶💫🙏

2025 was quiet but good. Like 2024, I’ve had a healthy, mostly stress-free year with lots of headspace to listen, learn, read, write & run🏃‍♂️

The New Year will be a time to harvest🌾

Thank you and all best wishes for 2026 to all those that made this journey beside me 🙏 💫🫶
