Welcome to our latest recap of ExecutiveEDGE, the EndeavorB2B newsletter that helps leadership teams make informed decisions by giving them a macro view of what’s essential as well as a micro focus on key takeaways and actionable steps.

Our July newsletters covered a lot of ground, including—gulp—the beginning of 2027 planning season. We looked at how to think about your supply-chain strategies in an era of consistent unpredictability and complexity and we talked about how to recalibrate plans in the middle of the year.

We also looked at some of the problems facing C-suites. Some, such as what to do about tokenmaxxing, are very new while others, like when to kill a zombie project, are as old as business. And we zoomed out to talk about talent acquisition tactics that Silicon Valley pioneered and building resilient organizations.

In addition, we chatted with an economist about how to frame 2027 and dissected some great research on employee productivity that came from our colleagues at Endeavor Business Intelligence.

To catch up with these stories and a lot more of our team’s work on strategy, leadership and management, visit the ExecutiveEDGE newsletter archive right here. While you’re there, you can subscribe to future newsletters or send an idea to one of our contributors. We look forward to hearing from you!
