Commercial growth is a team sport
Growth won't come from individual functions working harder in isolation. The organisations that succeed in 2027 will be those that align their commercial teams around a shared growth agenda, connect insights to action, and turn diverse perspectives into better decisions.

Winning brand share by closing the sustainability expectation gap
Most consumers care about sustainability, but barriers like price, access, and confusion stop them from acting, creating a costly expectation gap for brands. The companies winning market share are those that close this gap by removing friction, tailoring strategies to different consumer segments, and making sustainable choices accessible, affordable, and easy. Growth comes not from messaging alone, but from enabling real behaviour change.
If everything is a priority, nothing drives growth
When everything is treated as a priority, real growth stalls. True performance in H2 comes from pairing clarity with focus—making firm choices, protecting priorities, and saying no to the work that dilutes momentum. Leaders who commit to fewer, sharper priorities create the discipline, space, and progress needed to turn strategy into results.
Understand my business. No, REALLY understand my business.
A cornerstone of great selling is the ability to deeply and broadly understand your customer’s business.
May is the moment: stop managing. Start multiplying.
Many teams lose momentum in May. Energy dips, focus fragments, attentions turn to much needed vacations and the second half starts to drift before it begins.

They demonstrate that sustainability done well is not an add-on but a source of competitive advantage.
