January 19-23, 2026 | DAVOS, SWITZERLAND

World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026

A Spirit of Dialogue

Today, leaders are confronted with a mandate: Deliver value and growth with certainty. This imperative arises as accelerating technology, volatile markets, and emergent forms of competition and risk fundamentally reshape the landscape of success. True leadership is no longer defined by organizational scale or legacy, but by the agility to anticipate shifts, accurately interpret their implications, and act decisively ahead of the curve.

In Davos, we’ll deliver practical insights, dissect common challenges, and reveal how the most adaptive enterprises are actively redefining reinvention and accelerating growth within their industries.

What we’ll explore:

Resilience & Sovereignty: How leading organizations aren’t just absorbing shocks, but building inherent capacity to adapt and thrive amid geopolitical, regulatory, and supply-chain complexities.
Focused Growth Strategies: Genuine growth and productivity gains are being realized across the industry value chain, and disciplined, data-driven decisions are unlocking sustainable competitive advantage.
Realizing AI's Tangible Value: Move from experimentation to measurable impact. We'll pinpoint where AI creates the most value and outline strategy, technology, and talent alignment that deliver outcomes with speed and certainty.

Our goal this year in Davos is to help you discover avenues of certainty in uncertain conditions, creating value opportunities and building a foundation of confidence along the way. Sharing insights from leading clients actively reinventing their organizations—we can help you take the next step forward in your own reinvention journey and define the future of your enterprise.
