When the World Reports Back w Amie Devero
What happens when your strategic plan collides with the real world? In this session from LTSP26, we are joined by Amie Devero (Co-Founder of Contextum, Founder of Beyond Better S trategy and Coaching, and author of "Powered by Principle") to explore what happens after strategy launch: when reality pushes back and the world reports back with data, friction, and unforeseen challenges. Learn how leadership teams and organizations can create dynamic feedback loops, adapt strategic initiatives in real time, and bridge the critical gap between executive intent and frontline execution.

LTSP2026 Is Not a Webinar: Treat It Like a Lab Prep #1
Francis Wade reframes the Long-Term Strategy Conference 2026 around a simple but important idea: this is not passive screen time, it is an interactive experience designed to produce insight and, potentially, transformation. He explains why that distinction matters, how old webinar habits can sabotage the experience, and what participants should do differently before and during the conference. In this solo video, Francis shares a personal framework for getting the most out of the event by actively doing exercises, minimizing distractions, and preparing to engage with AI-driven personas and live prompts. He argues that the value comes from participation, not just attendance.
