The Kelly+Partners Post

In Issue 11 of The Kelly+Partners Post, we explore the enduring wisdom of Jim Collins and his powerful Hedgehog Concept — a simple yet demanding framework that challenges leaders to focus not on doing more, but on doing what truly matters. 

This issue also delivers practical insights for business owners navigating complexity in 2026. From structuring foreign-owned groups through Multiple Entry Consolidated (MEC) groups, to preparing for the significant shift to Payday Super from 1 July 2026, we unpack the changes shaping compliance, cashflow and long-term strategy.

We also take a measured look at a familiar ritual — your daily coffee — and what the research says about moderation, longevity and sustainable performance for leaders playing the long game.
