This week’s Memo is about paying attention.

From shutting the laptops for a proper Monday meeting, to joining Macmillan and Greene King for the Tartan Trek, to unpacking the Converse controversy with Lola Bakare, there’s a common thread running through it all: what happens when we actually notice what’s going on around us.

And, as The Unmistakables turns eight, we’re also looking at what it means to Read the Room after eight years of helping organisations keep pace with a world that never stands still.

We’re turning 8! So naturally we’re having a party 🥳

We’ve got a few spaces left if you’d like to celebrate with us, email [email protected] to join us on the 15th October.

And because eight years in business has taught us a thing or two, we’re sharing 8 learnings from 8 years of The Unmistakables.

How close are we to the people we’re trying to understand?

This week’s Memo looks at proximity, and why issues often become easier to see when they enter our own lives. From leadership and gender to customer insight and workplace culture, distance can leave plenty of room for assumption.

What does Britishness actually mean now?

This week’s Memo looks at the symbols, stereotypes and social codes that shape national identity, and what happens when those meanings start to shift. We’re also revisiting the politics of the world map, following the UN’s move away from Mercator, and exploring the power of building networks on your own terms.

From flags and football to maps and meaning, this week is really about one thing: who gets to define the picture?

What falls under the umbrella of Britishness? ☂️

We asked the team. As an unmistakable group, we had a fascinating debate.

Who gets to define Britishness? Why do we so often treat it as though it means the same thing to everyone? And how can we make it a more positive, inclusive idea?

With summer behind us and teams settling back into rhythm, this week’s Memo looks at what organisations need to learn now, from AI and neurodiversity to resilience, workplace behaviour and the assumptions that can quietly fall out of step with the world around them.

We also look at what Ali G’s return can teach us about relevance, and why noticing when the room has changed matters more than ever.

Plus, some back-to-school homework: our 10-minute Relevance Benchmark. Head to our website to find out more.

The breadwinner has always been more than an economic role. It has shaped ideas of status, responsibility and what contribution is supposed to look like.

But those assumptions are beginning to loosen. As labour markets change and the boundaries between paid work, care and domestic life become less distinct, the old model of who provides, and how, is becoming harder to sustain.

This week’s Memo considers what that shift means for organisations still built around increasingly outdated ideas of work and family.

The is on the rise 🍞 (Pun very much intended.)

But who actually is the breadwinner in 2026?
As the way we earn, care, parent and divide responsibilities changes, the traditional definition is looking increasingly out of date. And if our lives are changing, workplace policies need to change with them.

This week, the TU team get personal about what breadwinning looks like in their own lives, and what shifting family dynamics mean for businesses trying to keep up.

This week’s Memo is one we’ve taken some time over.

Rather than reacting to the news around Professor Jason Arday, we’ve reflected on what his story reveals about the state of the DEI conversation, the role of the media, and what happens when one person becomes the fall person of a culture war.

Above all, it’s a reminder that behind every headline is a human being.

May Professor Jason Arday rest in peace. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues and everyone whose lives he touched.

This week we’re talking about clarity.

We revisit our biggest takeaways from LIONS | The Home of Creativity and WFA where the conversations that stuck with us weren’t really about AI at all, but about people, judgement and what technology can’t replace. We also unpack the new EHRC Code of Practice, breaking down what it actually means for organisations beyond the headlines.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of the last few weeks, hopefully this helps.

Have a read. Link’s in the bio.
