Why this matters now

The WTO revised 2026 merchandise trade growth to 3.9%, up from 1.9% forecast in March, amid AI investment and supply-chain adaptation. This is a significant global signal for leaders responsible for logistics network redesign: the costs of delayed decisions, fragmented data and reactive management are rising as AI changes the speed of competition. This programme focuses specifically on the New Global Logistics Map, connecting these external pressures to the choices senior business leaders must make about capital, customers, talent and competitive positioning.

The executive agenda examines how reshaping routes, nodes and logistics network economics. Participants distinguish genuine market signals from hype, evaluate where existing operating models underperform and explore the economic, technological and organisational constraints on change. The emphasis is on decisions that can be tested, funded and implemented, rather than technology demonstrations without commercial outcomes.

Working through cross-sector scenarios, participants assess opportunity size, data readiness, execution risks and stakeholder incentives. Applied AI tools support diagnosis, forecasts, option comparison and prescriptive recommendations, with critical human review. Each participant develops a concise 90-day action roadmap, performance indicators and an executive presentation suitable for management or board discussion.
