The Decisive Podcast: Insights and analysis to empower confident decision-making. · The Age of Agility: Midyear Signals for 2026 · 27 Jun 2026 podcast

We're not quite halfway through 2026 and we're already thinking about 2027.

Admit it, you are too.

Without further ado, here's the Age of Agility Mid Year Singles for twenty twenty six, part one.

At the end of 2025, we framed 2026 around three strategic themes shaky economic foundations, shifting asymmetric power, and adapting to trade realities.

Now at mid year, we're revisiting those themes in a more shock prone environment.

The question is not simply whether our strategic themes still hold.

It's what has shifted, which signals matter most now, and what that means for you as decision makers heading into the second half of 2026 and beyond.

These themes don't sit separately.

Economics, geopolitics, energy, AI investment, trade policy, and logistics are all interacting in real time.

We will explore the global economy's exposure to shocks and where resilience may still hold.

How geopolitical competition, resource nationalism, and emerging technologies are reshaping power dynamics.

And how logistics and supply chains are being rewired as companies adapt to sustained disruption.

Let me introduce our SP Global Market Intelligence Experts now, Ken Waltriott, Vice President, Global Economics, Lawrence Allen, Head of Insights and Analysis, Europe and North America, and Eric Johnson, Senior Editor Technology at the Journal of Commerce.

We will talk about all of these themes, starting with Shaky Economic Foundations.

How has the war in the Middle East and the resulting oil price shock influenced that view?

Thanks, Ken.

So zooming in for a moment, which regional growth stories look most exposed to downside surprises and which, if any, are most exposed to upside surprises?

Thanks, Ken.

Lots of factors and moving parts to watch there for sure.

So Ken, what seem to be the drivers of growth heading into the second half of twenty twenty six?
