    How can CEOs sharpen their focus on the now and what's next?

    Confidence is down. Pressure is up. And CEOs are being asked to lead through more uncertainty than ever.    Take on Tomorrow is on the ground in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, where Sarah von Fischer discusses key findings from PwC’s 29th Global CEO Survey—and what this year’s results could mean for the C-suite, and beyond. She’s joined by Dion Shango, Senior Partner, PwC Africa, and Agnes Koops, Global Vice Chair and Global Chief Commercial Officer, PwC, to explore why CEOs are losing confidence in short-term growth—even as they continue investing in AI, innovation, and other new opportunities.     Why are some companies pulling ahead while others struggle to turn AI into real results? And are today’s leaders spending their time on the right priorities to win both now...and later? Join us as we ask what it takes to lead with agility in the age of AI.    Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2026 PwC.

    How can AI scale our capabilities at work?

    Have you noticed something different about customer service calls lately? Maybe even something...delightful? Perhaps the service rep not only anticipated your question but had the perfect suggestion? That could be AI working behind the scenes, supporting those call center employees and making life a little smoother for you. It’s just one way technology is shaping our everyday lives and changing how businesses serve customers—and interact with their workforce. All this change is happening at breakneck speed—so how can businesses get ready for a new kind of connection with customers and the world? And how might those connections create new ways of working—and new kinds of value?   To find out, our hosts Femi Oke and Lizzie O’Leary are joined by Kris Narayanan, Chief Digital Officer at Verizon Business. Then, Matt Wood, PwC’s Global and US Commercial Technology and Innovation Officer, tells us what leaders need to do to drive the AI revolution in a time of technological and cultural change.  Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.

    Are factories the new frontier of big tech?

    Making all the items we need and use in our everyday lives requires an intricate network of producers, suppliers, and distributors. But intricacy can have consequences: supply chains today are frequently disrupted, even as new technologies are changing everything we thought we knew about manufacturing. Long-standing processes are being revamped to try to make them more efficient, and that means a radical rethinking of the way we make things. In this special episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Kiva Allgood, Head of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains at the World Economic Forum, about the impact of automation on the workforce. Meanwhile, Cara Haffey, Leader of Industry for Industrial Manufacturing and Services at PwC UK, unpacks the opportunities this shift brings for new types of businesses.

  4. Can government be the catalyst for breakthrough innovation?

    Can government be the catalyst for breakthrough innovation?

    Big breakthrough innovations are on the horizon, and they could be coming from an unlikely place. We’re talking about the sort of ideas that would reshape how we move, the medical treatments we receive, and how we adapt to the changing climate and generate new kinds of energy—and they could all stem from a space not typically associated with innovation: the government. Rethinking the public sector’s role in innovation—and how it works together with private industry—may be key to solving the world’s most pressing challenges and improving people’s lives.In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk to Rafael Laguna de la Vera, Director of Germany’s Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation (SPRIND), about why governments should be funding innovation across industries. Plus: Frederik Blachetta, Public Sector Data & AI Leader from PwC Germany, talks to us about how business can work alongside government to drive positive change.

    How to fund the data-center boom?

    Throughout this special series, we’ve been exploring what happens to business and society when people try to do things differently. But without the funding to pay for that change, real progress can stall. In this episode, we’ll look at the way projects are financed and how it’s unlocking innovation and new partnerships across industries.  Hosts Femi Oke and Lizzie O’Leary are following the money into the world of data centers—massive investments requiring trillions of dollars—to uncover how this backbone of our digital lives is built and paid for. We’ll hear from Udhay Mathialagan, Managing Partner in Brookfield’s Infrastructure Group and the CEO of their Global Data Center Group, about why the company’s focusing on the infrastructure that runs AI systems. Plus: Eric Janson, Global Private Equity and Principal Investors Leader, PwC US, helps us dig into creative financing models, the evolving role of financial services, and why capital is the quiet force reshaping entire industries.  Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.

    Will your next sushi roll come from a laboratory?

    Farmers produce, traders distribute, manufacturers process, retailers sell, and governments regulate. And it all comes together so that we can eat each day. But this delicate, complex global system is under immense pressure. Drought and heat stress threaten crops. Geopolitical crises, population growth, and global food waste mean the hunt is on for new solutions. In the decade ahead, feeding the world will require fundamentally different partnerships. So what new business models, products, and services will emerge?      In this episode of our special Take on Tomorrow series, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke speak to Mihir Pershad, the founder and CEO of Umami Bioworks, a food technology startup that develops lab-grown seafood such as cultivated eel and tuna. Meanwhile, Carla DeSantis, PwC US Consumer Packaged Goods Leader, explains how humanity can completely reimagine food.    Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.

    What does the future of mobility look like?

    The way we move people and things is changing—transportation is becoming more electric, more autonomous, and more informed by advanced technology. These shifts present significant opportunity, both for new players to enter the mix and existing companies to reinvent themselves—with great potential benefit for society.       In this episode of our special Take on Tomorrow series, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke explore the future of mobility with Robin Chase, transportation entrepreneur and cofounder and former CEO of Zipcar. They’re also joined by Heiko Seitz, PwC’s Global eMobility Leader, from PwC Middle East, who takes us through the electric vehicle revolution, and why companies need to rethink their business models if they want to capture the opportunities in this space today and in the years ahead.    Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.

    Could robots be renovating our homes in the future?

    What if we completely rethought the way we build? What if the places where we live and work helped cut emissions, and we could drastically improve energy efficiency with a new kind of construction? What if most construction wasn’t even done on-site? These changes, some of them already underway today by businesses establishing new kinds of partnerships, are redefining an age-old industry.    In this episode of our special Take on Tomorrow series, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke speak to Emanuel Heisenberg, CEO and founder of Ecoworks, about how adding a “second skin” to existing structures could revolutionize their use in ways that are good for the planet and the pocketbook. Plus, Greg Oberti, a partner in Capital Projects & Infrastructure at PwC Canada, explains the kinds of cross-industry partnerships being forged and how new opportunities are taking shape that will create value in the decade ahead.    Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.
