KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 19): Nearly three in four business leaders worldwide now prioritise resilience investments, with 74% seeing resilience as a driver of growth, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). “Together, these forces underscore why supply chain resilience has become a central determinant of national competitiveness and corporate strategy,” said WEF. Kearney partner Per Kristian Hong said supply chain disruption in 2026 will be constant and structural. “For supply leaders, the priority is no longer forecasting disruption, but redesigning operating models to function under permanent uncertainty. That means moving away from efficiency-driven supply chains and towards adaptive networks that can be reconfigured with optionality as conditions change,” he said.
