The food and beverage industry has traditionally organized around categories. Consumers do not. Leaders need a more precise view of what consumers need from each occasion: convenience without compromise, moderation without sacrifice, and functionality they can clearly understand.

A great contract on paper doesn't always mean a supportable one. Which means seeing if your supply chain can actually support the commitment, and what trade-offs will be required if it cannot. Learn more: bit.ly/3TrSLWA

Kearney was pleased to take part in @wef's Annual Meeting of Global Future Leaders (AMGFL), held in Dubai from 13–15 October. Rudolph Lohmeyer and Hani Tohme represented Kearney alongside more than 500 leaders and experts from business, government and international organizations. Across discussions on AI and human agency, science and innovation, growth, geopolitics and trade, leadership, and climate and nature, the meeting reinforced a central leadership challenge: preparing for an increasingly complex world while acting decisively to shape what comes next.

Rather than choice benefiting consumers, much of the choice being provided is transferring work back onto them. When does choice stop feeling like freedom? For the future consumer, more options can mean more work: more to compare, verify, coordinate, and decide. The Kearney Consumer Institute surveyed more than 21,500 consumers across 20 countries to understand how these compounding pressures are reshaping what people expect from brands: bit.ly/4hmnLjQ

The headline sounds steady, but that number hides more than it reveals. The Global Business Policy Council’s 2026 2H global economic outlook points to a world in persistent disequilibrium, where growth continues to mask sharply different conditions across regions, sectors, and companies. For business leaders, that means no single forecast or one-time fix will hold for long, as geopolitical, tech, and climate shocks keep shifting the ground under them. The advantage will come from continuously reallocating capital toward markets and capabilities with durable demand, while preserving the flexibility to reroute supply, adjust capacity, and exit weakening positions.

Too many supply chain transformations begin with broad rollouts and ambitious timelines, only to become more complex, harder to adopt, and slower to deliver value. A better approach starts with the business problem.
