Rethinking Value: Adaptive and Intelligent Business Models for the AI Age

By 2040, most of today’s corporate giants were projected to no longer exist.

Why? Because the combined force of AI disruption, value chain disintermediation, economic volatility, and shifting consumer expectations had already begun reshaping the business landscape.

To stay relevant, businesses needed to evolve their legacy structures into adaptive, responsive, intelligent, and decentralized value networks that could sense and respond to constant change.

In this LinkedIn Live session, Everest Group experts explored how businesses could evolve beyond conventional models to remain competitive in a new era of co-creation, agility, and digital-first thinking.

We examined four Mega Forces driving this shift:

• • AI value models – embedding intelligence and automation into core operations

• • Responsive enterprises – building agility into every layer of the organization

• • Retail reimagined – moving from transactions to immersive, integrated, and seamless experiences

• • Next value networks – creating decentralized, platform-led ecosystems enabling faster, collaborative, and consumer-driven value creation

During this interactive session, attendees:

• Understood how emerging forces would reshape business priorities

• Uncovered emerging business models enabling new growth avenues and revenue streams

• Recognized early signs of long-term transformation
