Big Ambitions for 2026? Let’s Make Them Real

Start the year with clarity, and a plan to get it done

'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the land,
CEOs were regrouping, strategy in hand.
They'd dodged rising tariffs and tech that moved fast,
Now wondering which plans would actually last…

It’s that time of year!

The pace slows. The calendar clears. And somewhere between the last meeting and the first glass of eggnog, your mind drifts toward next year.

You’ve probably got some big ideas for 2026 - the kind that could really move the needle, if they get off the ground.

But let’s be honest: those are also the projects most likely to get stuck. Not because they aren’t good. But because you and your team are already maxed out.

What we’re hearing from CEOs right now:

🌎 New Market Entry: “We’ve always wanted to launch in the US, but we haven’t had time to scope the market properly".

💡 New Offering Development: “I have an idea for a new product, but I’ve never had the time to validate it".

📣 Sales Efficiency: “We’ve got a great product - I'm just not sure we’re telling the right story to the right people".

🔧 Operational Reset: “We grew fast, but now the wheels are getting wobbly. We need to rethink structure, systems, or culture".

🧠 Advisory Boards: “I keep meaning to build one… but it never feels urgent".

🧭 Strategic Planning: “2026 is going to be a great year, but we need to make sure the team is truly aligned".

These aren’t pipe dreams, they’re high-impact moves that often stall without the right focus or capacity.

What we do at Kingsford:

Sometimes it’s market research.
Sometimes it’s a go-to-market strategy.
Sometimes it’s stepping in as a thinking partner or advisor to help get things done.
