Luxury consumers are no longer defined by income alone—rather, by how they engage. Some gravitate toward craftsmanship, brands, and statement pieces. Others prioritize wellness, travel, or elevated dining experiences. At the same time, rising prices and economic uncertainty are reshaping behaviors, driving more selective spending and reinforcing that one-size-fits-all approaches to luxury no longer work. While luxury consumer segments provide a starting point, it is the behavioral and experiential profiles within each that truly determine what works and what no longer resonates in luxury today.

There’s a growing disconnect in how companies approach planning transformation. Millions are poured into advanced supply chain planning platforms each year, yet revenue, margin, and inventory outcomes still fall short. It's not just about the tech. Even the best technology falls short if the operating model around it isn’t aligned. Before investing in the next solution, it’s time to diagnose why value isn’t showing up—and optimize what’s already there. Kearney’s Hossein Naeini, Reza Biglary Makvand, and Gaurav Samant an assessment to do it right: https://bit.ly/40SRFDe

Internet providers don’t usually top the list for great customer experience, and that’s becoming a real risk. Switching providers is getting easier and your competition is getting better—it's time to rethink the full customer journey. See how to treat customer experience as an end-to-end system (not a set of isolated fixes) to unlock stronger retention, loyalty, and growth here: https://bit.ly/4c1UHew Authors: Ken Quaglio, Tatiana Goncharova, Ziyao Cheng, and Ibrahim Aziz

We’re honored to have been celebrated at the CDP Climate A List ceremony, where Kearney was recognized among the top 4% globally for climate leadership. What does “leading on climate” actually mean though? As we mark Kearney’s 100th year, we remain grounded in the principle that our founder, Tom Kearney, called “essential rightness,” the belief that rigorous thinking should always translate into real-world impact. This shapes how we work with clients and governments to take impactful steps in climate transparency and action. Thank you to CDP for the recognition and to our dedicated teams for continuing to raise the bar on what’s next. #CDPAwardsEurope

Platforms like Databricks have become the backbone of modern data and AI, enabling companies to store, process, and analyze massive amounts of data to generate insights and power intelligent applications. But as adoption scales, so does its cost, often faster than business demand.

More than 80% of large capital projects exceed their original budgets, and most overruns trace to contract structure, not market conditions. When one side holds all the downside, issues surface late, and every week costs more. Avoiding that starts with equitable risk-reward sharing, transparent information flow, and alignment before major commitments are made. Read Kearney's latest article by Neal Walters and Bill Duffy before your next capital project kicks off: https://bit.ly/3Pmynna
