KEY THEME FOR 2026

The Next Evolution of the Operating Model

AI-native autonomous systems are redefining what’s possible. Those who make the leap will set the pace for 
the next era of competitive advantage.

1920—1995

Traditional Operating Model

Siloed functions, spreadsheets, and sequential planning. Decisions were experience-driven and reactive, with limited enterprise visibility.

1995—2025

Digital Operating Model

ERP-enabled integration connected data across functions, supporting concurrent planning and scenario analysis. Decisions improved with analytics but remained largely human-led.

2026+

NewAPEX Operating Model

Self-learning systems enabled by AI-native, agentic capabilities continuously detect and address plan-versus-execution gaps across the enterprise, reducing value leakage and turning volatility into a competitive advantage and valuation driver.
