Resilient by design: How industry leaders can navigate tariffs and unlock cost efficiency

Download the PoV4 MB pdf

This paper reveals how global enterprises can transform tariff disruption into strategic advantage through digital resilience and operational agility.

Cost reduction and operational efficiency have always formed the heart of Global Business Services (GBS). However, as tariffs and geopolitical tensions rise, these traditional drivers are proving insufficient as organizations continue to face rising costs and fractured supply chains that demand new ways of working.

As a result, the shift from reactive cost containment to proactive transformation – where finance, supply chain and procurement are integrated into a more connected enterprise – is well underway. Making it easier for organizations to unlock agility, reduce risk, and sustain growth through automation while aligning digital strategy with execution.

In this paper, we provide a roadmap for navigating tariff uncertainty with Gen AI and our proven Connected Enterprise approach at its core. You’ll discover how to optimize working capital, reduce SG&A costs, transform procurement, and improve planning accuracy. You’ll also learn how automation and analytics drive compliance, margin uplift, and real-time decision-making across many global enterprises today.

From automotive to consumer goods, GBS leaders are already adapting to the new normal by rethinking inventory strategies, supplier relationships, and pricing models. Enabling them to build long-term resilience by turning disruption into opportunity which in turn gives them a sustained advantage over their competitors.
