This week I’m sharing the 3 most-read editions from 2025 on Strategy.
Last week you received The Top 3 on Culture.
Next week, you’ll receive The Top 3 on AI.
My work is ecosystem-based, so you will find that most editions blend all themes and other practical ways to turbocharge strategy implementation.
Bees and Strategy
Last week I mentioned I use the collaboration of bees to describe aspirational aspects of collaborative, high-performance cultures. It is the distinctive collaboration of bees that powers their “open strategy”, delivering high productivity in the way they work together.
Most of my articles on strategy describe open, collaborative strategy projects that yield better results. At least, this is what I’ve observed from working on over 50 strategy implementations. In case you missed them, read on for the 3 top hits.
Bee colonies are an example of open strategy

PPS Upcoming: Using AI to Design an AI-First Culture
AI is changing the fundamentals of knowledge work faster than most organisations can respond. Leaders now face an urgent question:
How do we redesign our workflows for a Humans + AI world?
In this interactive session, Ross Dawson (Founder, Humans + AI community) and Lisa Carlin (Founder, The Turbochargers Hub) will guide you through a live co-creation exercise.
Using Ross’s Humans + AI workflow framework, we’ll redesign a real strategic task: Planning an AI-first culture
You’ll see how human expertise and GenAI can work together as teammates to create valuable solutions. This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t an AI tool demo. It’s a working session that reveals how you can apply this approach to your own complex, high-stakes work.
