Episode notes
This week’s episode analyzes four critical themes from the World Economic Forum in Davos (Jan 19 - 23, 2026) and their implications for Revenue Growth Management. First, we examine the "AI Profitability Gap," emphasizing the need to move from operational efficiency to predictive pricing models. Second, we explore the "Fractured Economy," where declining brand loyalty necessitates a rigorous analysis of volume sources to avoid cannibalization. Third, we discuss the "Time over Price" shift, where convenience commands a premium over pure volume deals. Finally, we address the return of tariff volatility, highlighting the urgent need for agile, scenario-based pricing strategies to protect margins.
