Inside the latest from Jump Associates and why it’s worth your time
THE CONTEXT: STRATEGY GETS TESTED IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
Layoffs. Interest rates. Tariffs. Geopolitical shifts. The market has been volatile for years now. But volatility alone isn’t what’s killing momentum inside companies. What’s killing it is a lack of clarity on how to respond.
We see it every week: leaders stuck between short-term pressures and long-term bets. Teams unsure how to prioritize when everything feels like a moving target. And companies so focused on the next quarter that they forget to ask what kind of business they’re really trying to build.
For companies trying to stay ahead, real insight and not noise is what matters.
WHO’S DOING THE REAL THINKING?
Jump Associates continues to stand out as a firm that brings clarity to chaos. They work with Fortune 500 companies, public institutions, and innovation teams looking to think more boldly, and act more deliberately. Their latest research and content show exactly how they help teams move from reactive to strategic.
A CLOSER LOOK AT TARIFFS — AND STRATEGIC BLIND SPOTS
Jump works with Fortune 500s and fast-growth companies alike to help them cut through noise and chart a real path forward. Their work sits at the intersection of foresight, strategy, and organizational change — helping leadership teams think longer-term, even when the pressure is short-term.
In a recent piece, Dev Patnaik (Jump’s CEO) tackled the implications of shifting U.S. tariffs. But it’s not just a macroeconomic explainer. It’s a warning against strategic laziness. Against defaulting to safe moves when what’s needed is bold, aligned thinking.
“Tariffs don’t just test your supply chain. They test your ability to think clearly in complexity.”
— Dev Patnaik

WHAT WE’RE HEARING FROM THE FRONTLINES
Every week, we talk to founders, strategy & growth leaders, and heads of innovation who are facing the same thing Dev called out: the map is blurry, and the stakes are high. Teams are stuck in reactive mode. Long-term vision is getting crowded out by short-term noise. And the skill set required to navigate this moment? Rare.
That’s why we’ve doubled down on helping companies build the kind of leadership that can actually handle ambiguity. Not just senior on paper. Not just good at decks. People who can get in the room, wrestle with complexity, and move the business forward.
If you’re trying to hire for that — the real thinkers, the translators, the operators — we’re built to help you find them.
Let us know what challenge you’re solving for. We’ll show you who can help lead it.
