👉 Ready to plan your 2026 the right way? Download the free 2026 Planning Worksheet and get ready for Part 2, where we turn these insights into a concrete 2026 plan: https://www.impaccct.com/planning https://www.impaccct.com/planning In the last episode, we built your 2026 plan and discussed the changes and trends impacting how we build our brands and businesses. This episode picks up exactly where that leaves off. Because once you've clarified your goals, the next question becomes: How do you actually live your strategy in a way that builds trust, relevance, and momentum - not just more noise? My answer for 2026 is simple: 12 Experiments in 12 Months. Not resolutions. Not giant goals that collapse under pressure. Experiments - small, intentional tests designed to help you adapt faster, think sharper, tighten your positioning, and build credibility in motion. And because I believe you can't ask people to do what you won't do yourself, I'm running these publicly so you can see the real process, not just the polished outcomes. Why Experiments (Especially After Planning)? Your 2026 plan gives you direction. Experiments give you momentum. They turn: strategy → evidence intention → behaviour frameworks → lived experience credibility → something people can actually observe This is exactly what Edelman, McKinsey, Deloitte and MIT have been signalling: People trust what they can see, not what they're told. Proximity beats perfection. And distinctive thinking is now the new credibility. The 12 Experiments I'm Running in 2026 1. 12 Industries in 12 Months 2. 52 Friday Frameworks 3. Quarterly Live Labs 4.
