For businesses to thrive, transformative M&A and strategic carve-outs must be viewed as an integral part of the CEO's growth toolkit. Leaders with an exponential mindset are regularly scrutinizing which businesses within their portfolio still align with the changing market dynamics and which assets are no longer optimal. This is about making business model reinvention real by reimagining how the company creates, delivers, and captures value. Top executives are now focusing on how the enterprise can help solve global crises, strategically leverage exponential technologies (like GenAI and others in the Essential Eight), and adopt game-changing business models. This proactive approach to reinvention is driven by the stark realization that an average competitor may be out of business within a decade if it doesn't fundamentally change its model.
