For modern CEOs, creating value is not just a responsibility—it is the ultimate priority. Yet, while the phrase “value creation” is often repeated in boardrooms, investor calls, and strategy sessions, the meaning behind it is frequently oversimplified.

At a glance Why the old playbook fails in the NAVI world A wave of rapid, compounding disruptions—AI leaps, geopolitical shocks, supply bottlenecks, energy swings, extreme weather—has redefined enterprise exposure.

Boards Lead the Way When boards operate as true thought partners and strategic stewards, corporate transformations move from “good intentions” to bankable results. Yet most companies still capture only a fraction of the value they set out to create. The shortfall between projected and realized benefits is transformation value leakage—and it is solvable with disciplined board oversight. Executive Summary What Is Transformation Value Leakage?

Subscription models in categories like pet food, wellness, beauty, and other specialty consumer goods promise predictable revenue, loyalty, and cross-sell potential—but hypergrowth often outpaces operational maturity. As subscriber counts surge and fluctuate, many brands discover that legacy forecasting and demand-planning tools cannot handle the nonlinear, behavior-driven patterns of subscription demand.

Generative AI—deployed by both defenders and adversaries—has accelerated the speed, scale, and sophistication of attacks. At the same time, organizations are racing to embed AI into everyday workflows, often without a parallel uplift in controls, testing, or governance. The consequence is a widening security maturity gap: a small cohort is compounding advantage
Technology Report | Bespoke Business Development The AI race has shifted from experimentation to execution. Early movers are already reporting double-digit EBITDA gains by embedding AI in core workflows—while late adopters are finding that hesitation compounds technical debt, raises switching costs, and cedes competitive ground.
