Singapore C-suite leaders face a ‘complexity conundrum’ that demands different leadership

The city-state’s top executives simply can’t afford to become experts in one risk area while neglecting others

    • C-suite leadership teams must be good at spotting connections between seemingly unrelated risks – and understand how a climate event might trigger supply-chain problems while simultaneously creating regulatory headaches and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

    SINGAPORE-BASED C-suite executives face a unique challenge that their global counterparts often don’t – what we at AlixPartners call the “complexity conundrum”.

    Our 2025 Global Risk Survey shows that while most organisations worldwide struggle with specific risk categories, Singapore business leaders must juggle a much broader range of interconnected challenges all at once.

    Let’s be clear: This isn’t just about having more risks to worry about. It’s about understanding how deeply interconnected these risks are when you’re running operations across multiple markets.
