1. Supply chain changes
ISG's 2026 global Supply Chain Services report says enterprises worldwide are modernizing supply chains to sustain business continuity amid persistent disruption. Geopolitical instability, shifting trade policies and labor shortages are exposing weaknesses in traditional supply chain models and making transformation a strategic priority.
2. Tools and risk monitoring
The report says integrated planning and cloud-enabled automation are improving responsiveness as companies face pressure to reduce costs and optimize inventory.
