# UAE CEOs Must Embed Scenario Planning and Risk Governance into Enterprise Strategy to Navigate Geopolitical Supply Chain Shocks

PwC's 29th Global CEO Survey UAE findings, released in early 2026, found that as geopolitical shocks make supply chain disruption the leading risk to global trade, UAE CEOs must move beyond treating resilience as an operational issue and embed scenario planning, predictive analytics, and digital control towers directly into enterprise strategy. The report further highlights that building cyber culture and embedding security into everyday decision-making will be critical to protecting long-term value. For SEA mid-market CEOs selling into or partnering with the GCC, this signals that regional counterparts are adopting structured decision rehearsal at the C-suite level — raising the bar for board-level strategic preparedness.
