# What Global Strategy Leaders Say They Need in 2026

Reporting from the World Economic Forum's Industry Strategy Meeting in Munich, where 330 global strategy leaders declared that traditional long-cycle planning has broken down, this article surfaces a consensus view: scenario planning must become a continuous organizational discipline — not a periodic exercise — as market cycles grow shorter and sharper. Tata Steel and SAP executives are quoted anchoring capital decisions in multi-scenario frameworks and agile risk management. For APAC mid-market CEOs, the practical takeaway is to institutionalize rolling scenario reviews tied to capital allocation rather than treating them as annual board retreats.
