Signal 33 percent of high performers are frequently hit by external shifts against 65 percent of the rest

Summary

KPMG argues that adaptive strategies must rest on a strong focus on resilience and security. Its survey shows high performers being markedly more resilient to changing conditions. Only 33 percent of them say they are frequently affected by market, regulatory, or technology shifts, compared with 65 percent of other organizations. In addition, 70 percent of high performers describe themselves as highly resilient to change, against 36 percent of the rest. The report reads these differences as evidence that preparation and foundations shape how disruption is experienced.
