"When the world slows down, winners speed up" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Here’s the truth: downturns don’t slow the future. They compress it.
They intensify it. They accelerate it.
When the world slows down, winners speed up. Downturns don’t delay the future—they accelerate it.
With that being the case, speed isn’t reckless. In a recession, it’s your superpower. That's because, during a downturn, it’s not just the ideas that matter, it’s how fast you move on them.
In times of uncertainty, there’s an instinct to slow down. Pause. Delay decisions. Wait for clarity.
But history—and recent experience—shows that’s exactly the wrong move. When the environment slows, the smartest companies speed up.
We just witnessed that reality on a global scale in the last few years as the pandemic took hold. If you think back to those first few months, the fact is we compressed ten years of change into just six months. Retailers became digital-first overnight. Healthcare embraced telemedicine in an instant. Manufacturers pivoted supply chains on a dime.
So what happened that allowed for this? Major trends accelerated as organizations learned something new about speed! Agility and flexibility became critical because business models shifted faster. Customers changed quickly as people became more adaptable to new interaction methods! Overall, corporate cultures that were once used to working slowly had to embrace speed - with the result that the attitude ‘it can’t be done!’ disappeared, decision-making paralysis disappeared, the slow structure was put under a microscope, old barriers to new ideas disappeared, and "get it done" became the rallying cry!

It was a fascinating time since it showed what true organizational agility looks like. Necessity didn’t just breed invention—it demanded acceleration. The rallying cry wasn’t “What if?” It was: “What’s next—and how fast can we make it real?”
That wasn't an isolated circumstance though, because history shows that speed wins in uncertainty. Research from multiple downturns tells the same story: Resilient companies move faster. They make bolder decisions. They simplify governance. They respond rapidly to cost shifts and market shocks. They act while others analyze. They reorganize for velocity and enable frontline decision-making. They accelerate when others stall.
Ask yourself:
- are we simplifying decision-making to increase speed?
- are we empowering teams to act in real-time?
- are we using volatility to break down bureaucratic barriers?
- are we rewarding speed of learning over perfection of planning?
Because one thing is certain: the winners of tomorrow are already moving faster today.

Coup double

They're only principles if they make you say no to things that you would like to do. Otherwise, they are just sparkling theater.
What usually happens is that teams say "our principles are Empathy and Usability" while real decisions all happen upstream.
This is not an effective way of working, and will be detrimental in the long term. Real impact requires real #agility, which means delegating decisions downwards via good principles.

"Speed beats hesitation. Especially when the path isn't clear." - Futurist Jim Carroll
In a downturn, momentum matters more than perfection. Delay costs more than missteps. The biggest risk isn’t moving too fast—it’s moving too slow while the world speeds up.
And yet, In times of uncertainty, the most natural instinct of all is to wait. Wait for the data. Wait for a signal. Wait until the noise settles, the picture clarifies, and the next steps feel obvious. But here’s what too many leaders forget - the path forward doesn’t get clearer by standing still, it gets clearer by moving.
We are deep into a moment when the cost of indecision is far greater than the cost of action, and the trap of your 'aggressive indecision' becomes more significant every day. I've seen it play out countless times: a moment of economic volatility hits, and leadership teams and people fall into a state in which they decide the easiest decision to make is to simply .... not make them.
It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they overthink things. They fritter away time in endless meetings. They chase every scenario. They wait for perfect timing. They pause strategic initiatives. They delay customer-facing launches. They stall their momentum—believing they’re being cautious when in reality, they’re just stuck. And so in a world in which the future belongs to those who are fast, they slow down.
And while they stall? Markets shift. Competitors move Talent gets restless. Customers look elsewhere. That's the wrong thing to do - history favors the decisive, and who move at the speed demanded by fast-changing circumstances.
Data backs this up. A comprehensive Harvard Business Review study of 4,700 public companies over three recessions found that the top performers weren’t the ones who paused—they were the ones who acted strategically, quickly, and with confidence. Only 9% of companies outperformed their peers after a downturn—and they did it by balancing discipline with decisive moves at speed. A McKinsey study found the same: companies that moved first and fast during a downturn consistently gained market share during the recovery.
In short? While caution may feel responsible, the real risk lies in hesitation.
Doing nothing often costs far more than doing something imperfectly.
So what should you do? Start moving. Fast. Start moving before you’re ready - simply because you know that speed matters.

Futurist Jim Carroll recognizes that moving at speed matters and that with this period of uncertainty set to linger for quite some time, a book to help leaders dance through the rain is timely.

*Empowering Teams to Thrive in the Digital Age*
Leadership isn’t just about setting the direction—it’s about enabling others to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape. By fostering cultures of **collaboration**, **continuous learning**, and **adaptive thinking**, we prepare teams to meet challenges head-on and transform uncertainty into opportunity.
In the era of **digital transformation**, the ability to inspire innovation and integrate seamless strategies is more vital than ever. Leaders who champion **data-driven insights**, embrace **agile methodologies**, and encourage creative problem-solving empower their teams to rise above expectations and deliver meaningful impact.
Together, we can build a future where potential meets purpose, and where every step forward reflects a shared vision of growth and success.

"In a time of uncertainty, the future doesn’t slow down to give you time to make up your mind!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Uncertainty is not an excuse to stall. It’s a signal to move—strategically, swiftly, and with intent.
And yet, in moments like this, indecision becomes the silent killer. Leaders delay. Organizations drift. People pause, waiting for “clarity” that never comes. And in a moment in history that features relentlessly unpredictable - and some would say insane - levels of uncertainty, indecision becomes aggressive.
But the future doesn’t reward those who hesitate. It penalizes them, punishes them, and hurts them, by setting them further back. It rewards those who know how to pivot, adapt, and accelerate—even when the ground is shifting beneath them. I've said this before: “The biggest risk isn’t moving too fast—it’s moving too slow while the world speeds up.” That reality becomes more pronounced during an era of uncertainty.
In every previous downturn, we’ve seen the same pattern. The companies that acted with agility—who streamlined decision-making, shortened timelines, and empowered their teams—came out ahead. They didn’t rush blindly. But they didn’t wait for permission, either. They were bold, fast, and focused.
What did they do?
- they built cross-functional teams with the authority to decide in real-time.
- they prototyped quickly, then scaled what worked.
-they adopted an iteration mindset: test, learn, refine—then repeat.
- they aligned on mission clarity, so even in chaos, the direction was clear.
And that mindset isn’t just aspirational. It’s proven through research. I summed it up after the last crisis: “Bureaucracy is out. Speed is everything. The future belongs to those who can decide—and move.”
Here's the key thing to think about: agility isn’t recklessness. It’s responsiveness. It’s not about rushing blindly—it’s about having the confidence to move when others are still overanalyzing the map.
The greatest risk right now? It isn’t moving too fast. It’s moving too slowly while the world speeds up. And the greatest mistake? Doing nothing.
So as this new era of global uncertainty accelerates, are you still fine-tuning your plans while others are executing theirs?
Because the future isn’t waiting.
And neither should you.
