You shouldn’t have to make trade-offs to turn ambition into action. Yet most leaders feel stuck in planning mode, caught between bold vision and practical reality. We don't believe in that compromise. We help you find the path that delivers both, because meaningful change starts with impact first.

We’re doing #ClimateWeekNYC a little differently this year. Regen House affiliates Kearney and Compeer Financial are co-hosting a unique, “unconference-style” event where participants will set the evening’s agenda and then tackle the strategic challenges companies face on their path to climate change-ready supply chains, followed by a farm-to-fork dinner. Hosted at the top of the iconic Empire State Building, we're gathering food and agriculture leaders, sustainability strategists, and transition capital providers.

Our Kearney PERLab (Product Excellence Renewal Lab) team tore down more than two dozen laptops to study one overlooked component: the voltage regulator. This small but mighty system converts raw power into the precise voltages that CPUs, GPUs, memory, and storage require, and it locks in most of a product’s cost during the design stage. We set out to learn how leading companies approach voltage regulators differently and to show how design-powered sourcing can help leaders get ahead.

In Kearney’s 2025 FDI Confidence Index emerging market rankings, the Philippines slipped three spots to 16th out of 25, but investors are still eyeing the country’s growth potential. What matters most now? The efficiency of legal and regulatory processes and the strength of the domestic economy, the two biggest factors driving investor decisions. In this exclusive BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation interview, Shigeru Sekinada and Marco de la Rosa explain how the Philippines’ growing attractiveness for FDI combined with policy reforms could position it as a hub for long-term growth. 👉 Check it out: https://bit.ly/4fLKgMG

As organizations push to turn AI initiatives into real competitive advantage, Kearney has established a global network of forward-thinking CIOs and enterprise leaders—bringing them together to define, design, and deliver the future of AI-first. But where can we draw lessons to get a jump-start? As Michael Römer, a partner in Kearney’s Digital and Analytics practice, puts it: "To make AI deliver real results, borrow a page from private equity: treat it as a portfolio of focused bets, each with a clear value goal, measurable ROI, and a direct link to competitive advantage. The real question isn’t the tech. It’s which bets will actually move the needle." Through our CIO community, we tackle the most pressing leadership questions and turn them into actionable solutions: 1️⃣ What does it take to be AI-first today? Where is AI already creating value? How do we move past endless pilots and actually transform the business? 2️⃣ How will AI reshape the core of the business? Which parts of our economics and operating model will AI change first? What bold moves should we make in the next 6–12 months? 3️⃣ Who will shape and share in the AI-first future? How do we collaborate with start-ups, investors, and tech partners to build and learn together? With the AI-first race accelerating, collaboration drives results.
