The new politics – and how you can prepare your business for the risks and opportunities ahead
May 11, 2026
By Charley Green What a weekend. UK politics is wide open. The local election results mark an inflection point for the two-party system in British politics which has been the norm for the past century. What's changed We’re seeing a seismic shift in the political landscape as we know it. From stability to instability. From the politics of consensus to the politics of self-interest and division. From one single voice to many powerful voices. Our...

Driving Trust in the Age of Agentic AI
May 8, 2026
In an era of autonomous systems, human adoption of agentic AI is stalling not because of lack of capability, but because of lack of trust from employees, customers, and internal leadership. Across business today, there is fundamental tension: workforces are fearful they are "building their own coffins," anxious that AI will eliminate their roles entirely. Yet this narrative is far from the truth. The businesses that will win in the agentic AI revolution are those...

The Era of Intentional Fragmentation
March 30, 2026
At first glance, it looks like chaos. For years, starling murmurations baffled scientists. Thousands of birds wheeled across the sky, appearing unpredictable to the naked eye. Until closer study revealed something else: that each movement followed simple, deliberate rules. What looks like chaos is, in fact, curated.

February 27, 2026
By Barry Sudbeck and Laura Musgrave Here’s a question more pharma executives are asking: does patient engagement deliver measurable value, or is it primarily reputational? It’s a fair question. In an era where pharmaceutical innovation must demonstrate its value not only through clinical efficacy but also through demonstrated patient relevance, the question is no longer ‘whether’ to engage patients – it’s whether that engagement translates into an advantage. New research from FleishmanHillard’s Global Health & Life Sciences group suggests it may. Released in recognition of Rare Disease Day, The Patient...
