Analysis from global consultancy Kearney has found that over half (56%) of executives say their current business transformations aren’t working. Despite businesses moving from a focus on resilience during COVID to a new perspective of ‘regenerative’, currently, only 43% of businesses effectively operate in this way.  

More is needed and more is yet possible.

What is a ‘regenerative business’?

Embedding new digital models and advanced analytics, while making supply chains and people models sustainable for business and society is now mission critical. 

Businesses that wish to fulfil these commitments will require a long-term approach to becoming truly ‘regenerative’. This means looking beyond resilience and proactively asking where value can be added back into society and the wider world. 

Instead of optimizing for efficiency, the next generation of business will regenerate for speed, using external data plus analytical and advanced AI to quickly and accurately see and make sense of what’s happening outside their own four walls.

By regenerating the entire business system, from supply chain to customer experience and organizational culture, both business and the public sector can ensure that our teams, companies, and the broader environment can reach and sustain their full potential.
