This has no impact on anything other than that, in the Middle Ages, it was considered to be a superior sort of stone to make crystal balls out of, and we’re getting into that period of 2018 when looking forward becomes important.March is that part of the year when most New Year’s resolutions have awkwardly petered out, the first school holidays (and the resulting productivity issues) are arriving, tax cycles are kicking off again and the heat of summer and all its happy connotations is starting to waver.What you need this month is either assurance that the manner in which you’ve started is strong and worth pressing ahead with, or that just a tweak to your plan for the year will see you right.Check that your brand isn’t hamstrung by ‘small-town syndrome’ (page 46) and consider the advantages of disruptive innovation (page 54) in your business. Keep up with the fast-changing worlds of artificial intelligence (page 50) and cars (page 66). And join others who’ve embraced moving forward in South Africa’s 40 top inventions on page 60.When you need a break from all that striving, consider Sossusvlei (page 16), Hwange National Park (page 18), Nosy Be (page 22) or Clarens (page 28).And then keep going – onward and upward!Bruce DennillEditorSkyways Magazine is published monthly and distributed via Airlink.
