A new platform to address the future

One word dominates almost every aspect of current events: uncertainty. The political systems of Western countries, and global geopolitics, are undergoing profound changes whose impact we are only beginning to feel. Artificial intelligence is transforming access to knowledge and work routines. Values are shifting as new generations reach adulthood with renewed worldviews. Everything is changing: the climate, trade, networks.

The feeling is that everything is in flux. And that moments of truth are more frequent than ever: those instants when individuals, companies, and societies have to look around, interpret the situation, and make crucial decisions that will determine their future and that of their stakeholders. It’s an obligation that sometimes induces vertigo. But it’s also the most stimulating challenge.

That’s why our magazine, UNO, has transformed into an exclusively digital platform. Here, with a frequency more aligned with current events, the most insightful voices from academia, journalism, business, and consulting will reflect on the future and initiate crucial conversations about the challenges it presents. Our goal is to foster a broad dialogue , because the best way to shape the future is to exchange knowledge, compare intuitions, share experiences, neutralize biases, and arrive at shared visions. It’s not about infallible prediction, but about collectively shaping what comes next and addressing it together.

That’s why , in the first articles published on this new platform, we address some of the most crucial issues of our time. First, the profound geopolitical transformations that are bringing an end to the global order as we knew it. This order maintained relative stability, relied on multilateral mechanisms, and established a framework for free trade. Today, all of that is in retreat. This has crucial implications for businesses and decision-makers.

But secondly, we also wanted to begin UNO’s transformation by addressing the threat of disinformation in this changing world. At a time when we feel overwhelmed by the threats of misrepresentation or malicious fabrications, how can we communicate accurately? What long-standing journalistic virtues are more necessary than ever? How does all of this affect reputation and credibility?

The transformation of UNO, from a paper- first magazine to a digital-only platform , and from a periodic editorial product to an ongoing conversation, It reflects the spirit of LLYC . Our founder, José Antonio Llorente, always championed pluralism and the virtues of dialogue. And today, the company understands that the great challenge lies in understanding what the mindset of the future will be— The Next Mindset , as we’ve called it — and in using all available tools to guide our clients and partners toward it. Creativity, influence , and the capacity for innovation will be key, as always. But in new ways.

We cannot ignore the changes that are coming, nor can we assume they won’t affect our sector or our company. We cannot think we can thrive without making bold decisions. And it would be a mistake to abandon what remains the most effective way to envision and shape the future: the blend of leadership with conversation, of boldness with dialogue.

In a time of great uncertainty, LLYC wants to support its clients and partners, as well as society in general, in the great adventure of discovering and shaping the future. The times demand it. But so does the passion for challenges and for making the right decisions at crucial moments.
