Executive insights

For top-performing C-suite executives, reinvention means collaboration. Here’s where to focus. Innovative strategies come from a united C-suite. Functional excellence is important but operating in isolation likely won’t cut it in the face of today’s intertwined business challenges. Forge a bold path forward by joining forces so you can reinvent — together.

Where to focus in 2026

Strategy and growth

Your next growth move may surprise you

Your biggest competitive threat may come from somewhere you don’t expect. As industries overlap, bold new entrants are moving into unfamiliar territory—reshaping markets in the process. Opportunities are opening at the seams, where sectors merge to address life’s essentials, like how we feed and care for people, how we connect and travel, and how we design, build, and power our world.

Leaders who recognize these shifts early—and harness data, technology, and strong collaborations—can capture new markets, build on their company’s strengths, and create entirely new growth pathways. The rewards are there for those ready to move first.

Regulation and policy

When the rules change overnight, can your business keep pace?

One shift in tariffs, tax policy, or AI regulation can instantly disrupt your cost base, supply chain, and compliance strategy—with ripple effects across your business.

The most prepared leaders connect the dots early, plan for multiple scenarios, and move before competitors react. By maintaining a clear, connected view of your people, performance, systems, and strategy, your team can remain resilient, safeguard stakeholder trust, and make sharper decisions under pressure. In this environment, readiness isn’t just resilience—it’s a launchpad.

Artificial intelligence

AI won’t set you apart—how you use it will

AI is no longer a future play—it’s a present-day performance driver. It’s changing how decisions are made, how work gets done, and how fast it all happens.

Leaders who succeed will embed AI at the core of your operations—breaking down silos, building new skills, and rethinking how work gets done. Increasingly, this means putting AI agents to work—not just analyzing data but connecting systems and collaborating with people to help accelerate outcomes.

Done well, AI becomes more than an efficiency play. It becomes the engine of innovation and sustained differentiation.

Value creation

Sustainability strategy that fuels growth—and builds trust

The leaders who excel in the next decade will treat sustainability as both a growth driver and a source of resilience. Some of the data you already track—from energy use to emissions—may hold the key to cost savings, innovation, supplier confidence and smarter decisions.

By acting now and applying advanced analytics and AI, sustainability can become a competitive edge—helping you move faster, safeguard your business and anticipate shifting market dynamics instead of reacting to them. Those who integrate sustainability into every decision will be positioned not just to weather disruption, but to thrive because of it.
