We curate most relevant posts about Strategy & Consulting on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.
This edition outlines a strategic outlook for 2026, focusing on the transition from experimental artificial intelligence to a rigorous demand for measurable return on investment. Leaders are urged to prioritise organisational fundamentals such as clean data, clear role accountability, and change management, rather than relying on technology alone to fix structural issues. The landscape is further shaped by geopolitical volatility, new environmental regulations like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and a shift toward energy security as a driver of industrial growth. Resilience is framed as a core competency, requiring executives to move beyond simple risk checklists to building practised capabilities in decision-making under uncertainty. Across sectors including finance, healthcare, and retail, the recurring theme is that while AI levels the playing field, human judgment and disciplined execution remain the primary differentiators for success. Future competitiveness will depend on simplifying complex governance and fostering high-trust leadership cultures to navigate a fragmented global economy.
