Marsh and Bloomberg New Economy launched the Competitive Resilience Coalition to help businesses manage interconnected risks. The initiative provides leaders with guidance across five critical decision domains including digital, AI, and geopolitics.
Why it matters
As 96% of CEOs report increased board involvement amid global uncertainty, companies are seeking structured approaches to balance stability with growth. The coalition aims to formalize these decision-making processes for leaders operating across volatile markets.
Marsh, which maintains a footprint in 130 countries, is grounding this initiative in five core decision domains. This effort follows a survey showing that 96% of CEOs have increased board engagement to address heightened economic and environmental uncertainty.
The players
Marsh
A global insurance broker and risk management advisor with operations in 130 countries.

The details
The coalition operates by delivering practical frameworks that categorize risk exposure across geopolitics, the natural environment, and digital infrastructure.

Market Landscape
The formation of the Competitive Resilience Coalition follows the proceedings of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026. It signals a shift toward institutionalized risk frameworks within global business strategy following a period of heightened external volatility.
Operators should monitor the coalition's forthcoming output to identify emerging benchmarks for risk-management frameworks. Firms can evaluate their own board-level reporting cadence against the cited 96% industry trend of increased oversight.
The takeaway
The move toward formalized resilience frameworks suggests that board-level visibility into operational risk has become a permanent feature of competitive strategy. Leaders should prioritize integrating these five decision domains into their annual risk planning to align with evolving governance expectations.
