Executive Summary
Senior business leaders are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety due to constant geopolitical, technological, and economic disruptions, forcing a shift in strategy from 'perfection' to 'pace'.
Companies are moving away from 'just-in-time' supply chains towards more resilient 'just-in-case' models that incorporate regional and local sourcing to mitigate global risks.
The most successful executives ('growth leaders') are paradoxically the most anxious, leveraging this paranoia to aggressively adopt AI, experiment rapidly, and find growth opportunities within disruption.
Generative AI is being rapidly integrated into core business functions, with firms like AlixPartners using it in work accounting for 60% of global revenue to accelerate insights and action, not just to cut costs.
