\n\n🔗 Ideas from Daniel Jalkut. It’s an issue I have come to live with - because historically when I have tried something similar - it has royally messed up my App Store.
\nMaybe something has changed? Time to look again?

\n➡️ 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 - what does everyday life look like if this works? What will be different, and what will be the same? What’s in it for me? If people can’t picture it, they won’t move towards it.
\n➡️ 𝑰𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒚 - who are we relative to where we’re headed? Can I understand myself in the future vision? Can I do my part? This is deeply personal and without it, people won’t engage.
\n➡️ 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 - big change needs momentum and trust is flow. Markets, businesses and citizens all need to know what is being asked of them, what they can rely on, and why the destination is worth the risk of moving. Without that, you don’t have commitment – you have compliance (if you’re lucky!)
\n➡️ 𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 - incentives, funding, decisions and behaviours all have to pull in the same direction. Otherwise, people do what the system rewards. Real alignment means every part of the system can see the destination and wins by moving towards it together.
\n➡️ 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 - can you set a path to where we’re going without the need for constant central control? If your leadership inspires a million leaders, big change becomes real.
\nNot sure how repeatable and scalable this all is - not seeing a system yet.

Some commentary for a change. Just spotted a version of this on LinkedIN and tracked it back to the source - Rosie Hatton. Like us all - I do spot a lot of frameworks that I look at move on and never go back to. This one is different. So sharing. Nicely done - and very appropriate for 2026. Thank you Rosie.
Seems to have been floating around LinkedIN since the middle of May - but no clarity on how to credit.\nStill truth in humour?
