Leaders Turn Uncertainty into a 90‑Day Action Plan
In volatile markets, CEOs are urged to move beyond scenario analysis and adopt a focused 90‑day plan that isolates a handful of priority initiatives, uses trigger‑based decisions, and assigns clear ownership.

A meta‑analysis in Nature Human Behaviour of 57 studies covering over 411,000 adults 50+ found regular technology use linked to a 58 % lower risk of cognitive decline. Researchers coined “technological reserve,” arguing that digital engagement provides cognitive challenge, social connection, and compensatory support similar to traditional cognitive reserve. The protective effect persists after controlling for education, income, health and social factors, highlighting active tech use as a brain‑training activity. The findings suggest older adults who learn new apps or troubleshoot devices may bolster cognitive flexibility, a function most vulnerable to aging.
