2026 won’t wait. In this episode of Boards and Beyond, Susana Quintás draws a bold parallel between the chaotic time reforms of ancient Rome and today’s accelerating complexity. While economies like Spain show resilience on paper, a growing gap between macro data and everyday reality is fuelling disillusionment—and uncertainty is the new baseline.
From geopolitical fragmentation between the US and China to Europe’s strategic stagnation, the episode unpacks why leaders must stop watching and start acting. The AI wave has crested: speculation must now give way to execution, and experiments must deliver real value.
Hit play if you want to understand what separates those who navigate uncertainty from those left behind—and why 2026 is no longer about adapting, but deciding.
