Kevin O'Connell shared thisEveryone has an opinion about AI right now. The real challenge isn’t the technology — it’s turning AI into real business outcomes. That means moving beyond pilots and experiments to focus on what actually drives value: • clear strategy • strong data foundations • governance and trust • alignment with business priorities The organizations that win with AI won’t be the ones talking about it the most. They’ll be the ones using it to make better decisions and create measurable impact. Great commercial from our team on cutting through the AI noise. I love it!👏 #AI #GenerativeAI #Leadership #InnovationKevin O'Connell shared thisEveryone has an AI opinion. PwC helps cut through the AI noise so you can solve the business problems that matter.

Kevin O'Connell shared thisSustainability reporting is rapidly evolving — and financial institutions are right in the middle of this shift. Our PwC-IIF Global 2026 ISSB Adoption Survey reveals how 24 major financial institutions managing over $18 trillion in assets are approaching the ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2 sustainability disclosure standards — and what it means for strategy and value creation. Key takeaways: 🔹 Multi-framework reality persists. Even with ISSB adoption underway, institutions continue to work across TCFD, GRI, SASB, and local frameworks — driven by familiar practices and stakeholder needs. 🔹 Value beyond compliance is emerging. Many firms are already linking sustainability disclosures to strategic alignment, financial value creation, and enhanced decision-making. 🔹 Execution — not intent — is the differentiator. Strong governance, clear materiality frameworks, quality data, and integrated operating models are what set leaders apart in reporting readiness. 🔹 Challenges remain. Quantifying anticipated financial impacts, standardizing data, and scaling internal capabilities are among the biggest hurdles institutions still face. This survey underscores that sustainability reporting continues to move from a regulatory exercise toward strategic value creation — especially when organizations invest in strong foundations and treat sustainability as core to risk management and performance.

Kevin O'Connell shared this💰 CFOs: If sustainability isn’t influencing capital allocation, it’s not influencing strategy. We’ve moved past the era where sustainability lived in a separate report. Today it directly affects: • 📉 Cost of capital • 🧮 Risk-adjusted returns • 🏗️ Portfolio and asset resilience • 📊 How investors underwrite long-term performance Markets are pricing regulatory exposure, transition risk, supply chain fragility, and execution discipline. Capital is flowing toward companies that demonstrate clarity, resilience, and credible long-term positioning. This is not about optics. It’s about how investment committees decide where to deploy the next dollar. The question for boards and finance leaders isn’t “Are we reporting?” It’s “Are we allocating capital differently because of what we know?” That’s the real link between sustainability, investability, and performance. CFOs: Has sustainability changed how you evaluate major capital investments in the past 12 months? https://lnkd.in/e6BEYXx2 #CFO #CapitalAllocation #CorporateFinance #CostOfCapital #BoardLeadership #LongTermValue #PWCSustainabilitySustainability’s ROI Era: Investability and Enterprise ValueSustainability’s ROI Era: Investability and Enterprise Value

Kevin O'Connell shared thisThe draft revised ESRS propose a 61% reduction in mandatory data points. But that doesn't mean a 61% reduction in effort. With initial reporting ~10 months away for many companies, three things will still be tough: 1️⃣ Double materiality assessments remain required. 2️⃣ The hardest metrics aren't going away. GHG emissions, waste, water, and workforce metrics are still mandatory when material, still demanding reliable, auditable data. 3️⃣ Entity-specific disclosures will carry even greater weight. From our analysis of 250 Wave 1 reports, cybersecurity, AI, and tax topped the list. Fewer mandatory data points ≠ fewer disclosures. Four actions CFOs should take now: ✅ Approve dedicated funding to build teams with the right skills and governance ✅ Build a clean, governed data foundation embedded in finance processes ✅ AI-enable your reporting from the start for scalability and insight ✅ Do a dry run to find bottlenecks before assurance begins The goal: repeatable, AI-enabled, capital-markets-ready reporting that goes beyond compliance to support resilience, transparency, and long-term value.Even in a “simplified” world, CSRD is still challenging.

Kevin O'Connell shared thisOn Sunday I had the privilege of running a marathon alongside my son Quinlan O’Connell . 26.2 miles (him), 13.1 miles (me). Hours of discomfort. Moments where quitting would have been easier. There’s something profound about choosing to do hard things — especially when you do them together. Running a marathon is a simple formula: • Show up consistently. • Prepare when no one is watching. • Manage your energy. • Push through when it gets uncomfortable. • Trust the long game. Sound familiar? In many ways, it mirrors the world we’re operating in today. We’re facing complex challenges — energy demand and security, infrastructure modernization, AI transformation, geopolitical shifts. None of these are “short races.” They’re marathons. They require resilience, discipline, collaboration, and a willingness to stay steady when the path feels long. The biggest lesson from the race wasn’t about pace or time. It was this: hard things are less daunting when you run beside someone. In business, that’s our teams. In leadership, that’s the people we mentor and develop. In life, that’s our family and friends. We don’t solve hard problems alone. We solve them together — step by step. I’m grateful for the miles, the lessons, the time with my son, and the opportunity to keep building endurance — in sport and in leadership. PS. Nicholas Thompson and Tracksmith thanks for the inspiration to embark on this journey. Your book is awesome! #RunEveryDay #Running #Resilience

Kevin O'Connell shared thisSustainability is no longer a reporting exercise—it’s shaping core business decisions. And increasingly, those decisions are being informed by data, analytics, and AI. But AI is only as powerful as the trust behind it. That trust depends on strong data, sound governance, and effective controls across strategy, operations, and risk management. To support that shift, we’ve launched “Driving Growth through Sustainability,” a new monthly newsletter exploring how leaders are using sustainability—enabled by AI, supported by reliable data, and built on assurance-ready foundations—to build confidence, create value, and drive long-term returns. If you’re thinking about how to scale sustainability, deploy AI responsibly, or turn insight into action, this one’s for you. 👉 Subscribe to receive monthly insights directly in your LinkedIn feed: 🔗 https://pwc.to/3M3cqYW #PwCSustainability #AI #DataTrust #ResponsibleAI #SustainableGrowthA monthly outlook for leaders navigating what’s nextA monthly outlook for leaders navigating what’s nextPwC

Kevin O'Connell posted this🌍 Sustainability reporting is evolving fast — and US companies are catching up. Our latest PwC Global Sustainability Reporting Survey reveals a few striking trends: ✅ 94% of US companies expect to report under CSRD or ISSB ✅ Use of AI in sustainability reporting has tripled ✅ But only 1 in 3 US boards are fully engaged in these preparations The message is clear: compliance is just the beginning. Leading organizations are treating sustainability data as a strategic asset — unlocking insights for performance, efficiency, and growth.

Kevin O'Connell liked thisKevin O'Connell liked thisI recently sat down with Sustainability Magazine to dive into PwC’s 2026 AI Business Predictions and what the convergence of AI and sustainability means for business leaders right now. The takeaway: 2026 is the year AI integrates sustainability directly into business decision-making. Here’s what that looks like in practice: 📊 AI will increasingly connect sustainability, operational, and financial data in near real time. ⚡ AI-powered energy planning will become more central as energy demand rises. 🔗 AI will help organizations surface supply chain vulnerabilities traditional analysis misses. 🛒 Customer sustainability preferences will become measurable at scale—shaping product and growth strategy. Organizations that embed sustainability intelligence into analytics and forecasting will be positioned to move faster and allocate capital with greater confidence.

The role of the CRO has shifted. KPMG US released From Reaction to Readiness, examining how Chief Restructuring Officers are evolving from reactive firefighters to proactive strategists. The data tells the story. 66% of organizations cite persistent financial distress as the top reason to hire a CRO. Yet early engagement delivers significantly better outcomes. Most companies still wait too long. 60% of respondents expect global economic volatility to increase demand for CRO services. Private equity firms are especially concerned at 65%. What's changed: Modern CROs need digital fluency, sophisticated management capabilities, and an understanding of global market dynamics. The skill set has broadened beyond traditional turnaround expertise. Organizations that engage restructuring leadership early position themselves to address challenges before distress becomes acute. Waiting until crisis mode limits options and outcomes. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eY4BJ98t #KPMGStrategy #Restructuring #Leadership #Transformation

Organizations are feeling the pressure of regulatory expectations, cyber threats, and third party exposure. Many TPRM programs struggle to keep up. Data from the newly released KPMG 2026 Global Third-Party Risk Management Survey shows that resilience gap widening. Here's what's important for you: ESG and sustainability considerations can’t sit on the sidelines of TPRM. They need to be designed into third party risk programs from the ground floor. If you’re working in sustainability, #ESG reporting, or responsible supply chain strategy, understanding how #TPRM frameworks operate, and where sustainability risk belongs, is truly valuable. On Wednesday, Feb. 11, KPMG is hosting a live webcast breaking down the survey results and exploring how organizations are reshaping TPRM. It’s a great opportunity to see where sustainability fits into the broader risk conversation. ➡️ Webcast details & registration: https://lnkd.in/eqcj4NqZ This discussion will give you the context you need to embed ESG more effectively into enterprise risk — and strengthen the impact of your sustainability program, and you can find the full report here if you’d like to dive in even deeper: https://lnkd.in/eTzXTPAk #KPMGSustainability

High risk, high conviction. Three-quarters of global investors are leaning into risk—despite market volatility. Why? Because uncertainty breeds opportunity. The latest EY Private Equity Pulse shows capital is poised to move, fast—especially in defense, U.S. manufacturing, private credit, and sectors shaken by supply chain shifts. Smart money isn’t waiting. It’s watching — and getting ready. https://ow.ly/A2hI30sNOUc #ShapeTheFutureWithConfidence

Day 1 at the IIA Great Audit Minds (GAM) Conference. Incredible start to #GAM2026! Today’s sessions made one thing clear, the "traditional" audit playbook is being rewritten. Here are my 3 key takeaways from Day 1: Accelerated AI Adoption: No longer a "future" concept. Internal Audit teams are actively integrating AI to enhance speed, accuracy, and predictive capabilities. The Shift to "Risk Strategist": The need is to move away from the traditional risk based approach toward becoming Risk Strategists. In this evolving environment, our value lies in anticipating shifts rather than just reacting to them. Next Gen Data Mining: The evolution of data mining tools is a game changer. Enhancing risk coverage for more holistic and granular view of organizational health. Great to discuss these shifts with fellow leaders and colleagues who are committed to elevating the Internal Audit profession Medhavin Trivedi Kedar Joshi #InternalAudit #IIA #GAM2026 #RiskStrategist #DataMining #AIinAudit #FutureOfAudit
