Reinvention

How the Middle East is thriving through disruption

How the Middle East is thriving through disruption

The answer? A reinvention strategy that keeps step with what customers want and need, or better still, invents the customer needs of the future.

Reinvent your business model and meet the future

No company’s future is guaranteed: half of all businesses that exist today won’t be around 10 or 15 years from now. History proves this to be true, and CEOs know it too.

In our 2025 Annual Middle East CEO Survey, 60% of regional CEOs think their businesses will not be viable within 10 years or less without adaptation, with the majority citing regulatory change as a major factor.

Today’s pace of change and the influence of converging megatrends – from technological disruption to climate change – mean that how businesses create, deliver, and capture value will need to fundamentally change too. The answer? A business model reinvention that keeps step with what customers want and need, or better still, invents the customer needs of the future.

Zeroing in on the right reinvention

Innovative business models are emerging all the time, putting pressure on organisations to reinvent or risk irrelevance. These six business models are just some of the ways enterprises are reimagining themselves in response to disruption – from changing who they think of as “customers” to shifting their place in the value chain.

Our sector-led business model reinvention specialists help you evaluate and navigate these and other business models to safeguard your company’s future.
