Tim Bodner, global and real estate deals leader at PwC, told the REIT Report podcast that the commercial real estate environment is marked by cautious optimism, with investors increasingly focused on how quickly to deploy capital as macro volatility impacts the pace, rather than the direction, of recovery.“We like to think of it as a mood of cautious optimism with the dial creeping up,” he said.Private real estate values appear to have bottomed in late 2024, transaction volumes are expected to rise 16% to 20% this year, and institutional investors have returned as net buyers, he pointed out.Global investors, meanwhile, have raised their planned U.S. allocation from 11% to 16% during the last year. “So even with tariffs and political noise, the U.S. still wins on liquidity, transparency, and just the options around growth,” Bodner said.

AI is reshaping the security operations center (SOC), shifting it from a manual, reactive function into a faster, intelligence-driven environment. For organizations dealing with alert fatigue and limited analyst capacity, AI is becoming a practical tool for improving how threats are identified and managed.In this UC Today discussion, Kristian McCann speaks with Morgan Adamsky, Principal at PwC, to explore how enterprises are operationalizing AI in the SOC. Adamsky brings a pragmatic perspective, focusing on how AI can be deployed responsibly. Her insights center on aligning technology with people and process, ensuring AI enhances rather than complicates decision-making in high-pressure environments.From Hype to Operational RealityTraditionally, analysts have had to manually review large volumes of data, often taking significant time to identify real threats. AI is changing that by rapidly surfacing anomalies and prioritizing potential risks, helping teams respond faster.Adoption, however, varies widely. Many organizations are still taking a “bolt-on” approach, adding AI into existing workflows. More advanced organizations are rethinking the SOC entirely, treating AI as a “force multiplier” and designing operations around it from the outset.This gap highlights different levels of maturity. While some are experimenting, others are investing in deeper transformation, a move Adamsky suggests will deliver greater long-term value, particularly as attackers also leverage AI to accelerate their efforts.Challenges remain. Organizations must integrate AI across the full security lifecycle, ensure outputs can be trusted, and train teams to use it effectively. As Adamsky notes, the human factor is still a key hurdle in scaling adoption.Building a Smarter, Safer SOCTo manage these challenges, organizations are introducing clearer boundaries between AI and human decision-making. AI can handle tasks like initial triage, but critical actions such as containment or shutting down systems typically require human validation.This human-in-the-loop approach helps maintain trust while still benefiting from automation. It ensures that AI supports, rather than replaces, human judgment in high-stakes scenarios.Adamsky also outlines what effective implementation looks like. This includes combining threat intelligence, vulnerability data, and network activity into a unified view. AI then helps identify patterns and surface meaningful insights, enabling more informed decisions.She also points to three priorities: faster vulnerability management, stronger third-party risk oversight, and preparing for breaches. The latter reflects a growing recognition that incidents are increasingly likely, making readiness essential.From Experimentation to TransformationThe discussion makes clear that incremental adoption is not enough. While bolt-on AI can deliver short-term gains, long-term success requires rethinking the SOC as a whole, with AI embedded across workflows.At the same time, core cybersecurity fundamentals still matter. Practices like patching, testing, and incident planning remain critical, but must now operate at greater speed to keep up with AI-driven threats.For security leaders, the focus should be on both technology and people. That means investing in tools while also upskilling teams and adapting processes to fully leverage AI.Ultimately, organizations that treat AI as foundational rather than optional will be better positioned to keep pace in an increasingly automated threat landscape.

Guest: Matt Gregson, Principal - PwC Cyber Security Topics: What is the state of the art of "agentic SOC" in 2026? Can you describe the most agentic SOC you've seen so far? In your experience, what are the main measurable benefits of AI agents in a SOC and IR? Imagine a 2030 SOC, what do humans do? Tell us more about how you judge if a client SOC is ready for AI and agents? What is the "Ouch" moment where most organizations realize their data isn't ready for that level of autonomy? Should we be more afraid of "AI hallucinations" or "Human fatigue" in the SOC?  If a team has an agentic teammate making its own decisions based on emergent reasoning, how do you audit its "thought process"? Everyone loves to talk about "Time Saved," but in an agentic SOC, we care about "Decision Quality." What is the one metric PwC uses to prove that a SOC agent  deployment is actually reducing risk? We often hear about "human-agent teaming." Are they still looking at alerts, or are they just approving "Action Plans" generated by the AI?

Despite a prolonged period of policy uncertainty in the U.S.—and the ripple effects across the global life sciences and healthcare industries—executives at health companies are still seeing opportunities amid the tumult. In many cases, they’re finding that the resilient business models they built through disruptions like the pandemic have positioned their companies not just to survive, but to thrive in a new normal for the industry. In this episode of “The Top Line,” Fierce Pharma’s Fraiser Kansteiner chats with Glenn Hunzinger, PwC’s U.S. health industries leader, about results from the firm’s recent survey on investor sentiment. Focusing on health companies, Hunzinger explains how many innovative drugmakers have managed to capitalize on the shifting environment. Still, he warns that a more uncertain landscape for U.S. innovation and continued tariff pressures on sectors such as medtech could pose challenges down the line.

What does it really mean to lead at the highest level in the automotive industry today?In this episode, Jan Griffiths sits down with Phil Biggs, the man quietly trusted by more than 100 CEOs across automotive and beyond. Known as the “CEO whisperer,” Phil has spent nearly a decade creating a confidential space where leaders can speak openly about the pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility that comes with the top job.And one thing is clear: leadership has changed.The old command-and-control model is breaking under the weight of constant disruption. Tariffs. Supply chain shocks. AI. Workforce shifts. EV uncertainty. The pressure never stops. Phil shares what he's learned from years of listening to CEOs behind closed doors and why emotional intelligence, trust, and authenticity are now non-negotiable leadership traits.This conversation goes deep into the loneliness of leadership, the tension between kindness and toughness, and why the best CEOs know how to balance both humanity and accountability. Jan and Phil also unpack the dangerous automotive habit of glorifying leaders who stay buried in the weeds instead of empowering their teams to lead.At its core, this episode is about the future of leadership in automotive and the cultural shift required to survive what's coming next.Because today's leaders don't need more control.They need courage, trust, and the ability to lead humans through uncertainty.Themes Discussed in this EpisodeWhy leadership at the top is often deeply lonelyThe role trust plays in high-level CEO conversationsWhy command-and-control leadership no longer worksThe balance between kindness and toughness in leadershipEmotional intelligence as a critical CEO competencyWhy automotive leaders must stop glorifying micromanagementEmpowering teams is more important than controlling themHow disruption is reshaping leadership expectations across automotive

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we speak about resume cliches across firms. Editing out cliches from Deloitte and Accenture resumes tends to take up the majority of time when we work with candidates from these firms, and the other accounting firms like PWC, E&Y and KPMG. Typically, when we start the editing sessions, it is very difficult for the client to see how vague and misleading their resume really is.

Matt helps us break free from fear-based thinking and reframe our setbacks as valuable feedback. Drawing on real-world case studies, cognitive science, and his own experiences, Matt teaches us how to cultivate resilience, embrace risk-taking, and lead with authenticity.

This episode continues our investigation into the potential wide-ranging implications of advanced AI for economics.Traditionally, value is said to be created by a combination of capital, which covers the cost of materials and equipment, and labour, whereby humans exercise skills, ingenuity, diligence, attention, and more. What has been a constant debate is the appropriate division of rewards between capital and labour. Critics of the operation of capitalism have often predicted that an accumulation of value within small groups of owners of capital will cause economic instabilities and a subsequent collapse. Despite these forecasts, capitalism has, so far, demonstrated great resilience, defying predictions of its collapse. But if human labour is increasingly displaced by advanced automation, the balance of labour and capital will be fundamentally changed, and capitalism will come under unprecedented pressures.That's the thesis of our guest today, Ted Shelton. David first met Ted about 25 years ago, when Ted was Chief Strategy Officer of the software development tools company Borland, and David was an executive within the early smartphone industry. Since that time, Ted has worked for a variety of companies in and around Silicon Valley, including PwC, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Catalytic, Bain, and Inflection AI. Recently, he has been giving a great deal of thought to where AI is taking the economy.Selected follow-ups:Ted Shelton's posts on LinkedIn"On the Transformation of Capitalism's Fundamental Assumptions Under Conditions of Scaling Machine Intelligence" - working paper by Ted Shelton"The Industrial Economy Is Ending.

C dans l'air du 1er mai 2026 - Flambée du pétrole : qui profite de la crise ? Les prix du pétrole ont de nouveau flambé jeudi après que la Maison-Blanche a évoqué un blocus prolongé du détroit d'Ormuz. La perspective d'un blocage de cet axe stratégique pendant « des mois » affole les marchés… mais profite à certains. Tandis que les prix à la pompe s'envolent, les traders et les compagnies pétrolières voient leurs bénéfices exploser.Selon Greenpeace, les groupes européens auraient engrangé plus de 80 millions d'euros de « surprofits » par jour depuis le début de la guerre en Iran. TotalEnergies illustre cette dynamique : le groupe a publié un bénéfice net trimestriel de 5,8 milliards de dollars, en hausse de 51 % sur un an. Son PDG, Patrick Pouyanné, revendique une « capacité à capter la hausse des prix ».Mais ces résultats suscitent la polémique et relancent le débat sur la taxation des superprofits. Le Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu, a appelé le pétrolier à « redistribuer d'une manière ou d'une autre » d'éventuels profits « exceptionnels ». Le groupe a rapidement et vivement répondu qu'il procédait déjà à une redistribution via le plafonnement des prix mis en place depuis février. Face à la pression, l'entreprise a confirmé jeudi son intention de « poursuivre » ce plafonnement des prix à la pompe « tant que la crise durera ». Un geste salué par l'exécutif, mais jugé trop flou par ses détracteurs. Le PS a déposé une proposition de loi visant à instaurer une surtaxe de 20 % sur les bénéfices exceptionnels des majors pétrolières, estimant qu'elle pourrait rapporter 2 milliards d'euros par an à l'État.La question dépasse la France. Cinq pays européens — Allemagne, Espagne, Autriche, Italie et Portugal — plaident pour que Bruxelles active une taxation des surprofits énergétiques afin de soutenir les consommateurs face à l'inflation. Paris, pour l'heure, n'a pas tranché.Pendant ce temps, aux États-Unis, les États pétroliers, comme le Texas, tirent clairement leur épingle du jeu : les exportations américaines atteignent des niveaux records. Une dynamique encouragée par Donald Trump, qui cherche à repositionner son pays comme fournisseur énergétique incontournable. Parallèlement, l'industrie américaine de défense signale un bond de ses commandes et des signatures de contrats au premier trimestre. Le secteur avait déjà connu en 2025 une forte croissance, sous l'effet des guerres en Ukraine et à Gaza, d'incursions russes dans des espaces aériens européens, de manœuvres militaires chinoises près de Taïwan ou encore de tensions en mer Rouge. Ce regain de tensions pousse les pays du monde entier à accroître leurs réserves d'armements et d'équipements militaires. L'Allemagne, premier soutien militaire et financier de l'Ukraine, a débloqué un fonds spécial de 100 milliards d'euros pour renforcer sa défense et, depuis le début de la guerre, son industrie de l'armement est en plein essor.Mais si certains secteurs tirent leur épingle du jeu, l'économie mondiale est sous pression et l'inflation grimpe. En France, elle s'élève à 2,2 % sur un an en avril, et certains aliments voient leurs prix s'envoler. C'est le cas du poisson. Entre la raréfaction de l'offre et l'envolée des prix du carburant liée au contexte géopolitique, mareyeurs et poissonniers tirent la sonnette d'alarme.Nos experts :- Philippe DESSERTINE - Economiste, directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance et auteur de L'Horizon des possibles- Gaëlle MACKE - Directrice déléguée de la rédaction de Challenges- Stéphanie VILLERS - Économiste au cabinet de conseil PWC- Thomas PORCHER - Économiste, professeur d'économie à la Paris School of Business et auteur de Les débats de l'éco

Our guest on this week's episode is Lisa Dyer, Executive Director of the GPS Innovation Alliance. Many of us rely on GPS satellite technology every day. But what we may not realize is that these important systems are vulnerable to criminals, hackers, and a range of other bad actors. Between jamming GPS signals and mimicking real signals, the potential for harm is real—unless we do something about it. Lisa Dyer of the GPS Innovation Alliance shares about these potential threats to our GPS systems and what can be done to secure them.Just about every company on the globe is trying to figure out what to do about artificial intelligence and other digitalization efforts, especially where they can be deployed in their operations and whether it is worth the huge investments.  Yet, Senior Editor Victoria Kickham reports on some new research that shows there is a considerable gap between these digital ambitions and actual execution.Cargo theft is a topic that we've been covering more and more in recent months. Every now and then, a high profile example makes the news, like those thieves that recently stole an entire truckload of lobsters or the ones who stole a truck of Kit-Kat bars. But on a day to day basis, it happens far more often, and one reason is that the thieves are constantly becoming better at being criminals. Senior News Editor Ben Ames reported that during the first quarter of 2026, thieves in the U.S. and Canada committed fewer heists but they targeted more valuable goods. He shares what types of goods are stolen the most and the clever ways thieves are pulling off these capers.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:GPS Innovation AllianceReport: Tech challenges persist across operations and supply chainsCargo thieves narrow their focus on high-value targetsVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: Werner

Today in the business of podcasting:The IAB, in partnership with PwC, reports that digital audio ad spend reached a record $8.4 billion in 2025, a 10.2% year-over-year increase, with podcast advertising revenue climbing to $2.9 billion on 17.6% growth that outpaced the broader digital audio market.A Scalable newsletter analysis examines how Netflix's early video podcasting push has stalled, with the YouTube presence of major Netflix-exclusive shows beginning to atrophy as the platform makes no new big-ticket acquisitions, while YouTube says it has no plans to counter with exclusivity deals and is instead developing AI tools to help creators generate short clips automatically.Barrett Media's Garrett Searight argues that YouTube's new Shorts daily time-cap feature is less a crisis for podcast discovery than a prompt for independent creators to diversify their short-form video strategy and prioritize content quality across platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok.Acast's 2025 year-end report shows full-year net sales growth of 29% year-over-year, with North American net sales up 50% in Q4, and the company closing the year with 429 full-time employees, up from 364 in 2024.A new Sounds Profitable study, Audio Primes: The Podcast Industry's Most Valuable Audience, profiles the segment of podcast consumers who listen to at least 75% of their content as audio, finding they skew younger, more educated, and higher-income than the broader podcast audience, with a webinar presentation from Tom Webster and Alberto Betella now available on Sounds Profitable's site and YouTube channel.To find links to these, and every article covered in today's episode, click here.

Stanford's new AI Index and PwC's annual AI performance study reveal a widening gap — between AI experts and the public, and between corporate leaders capturing 75% of AI's economic gains and everyone else. NLW breaks down what's driving the divergence and why some gaps matter more than others. In the headlines: Allbirds pivots to an AI neocloud, OpenAI updates its agents SDK and moves to pay-per-click ads, the Manus investigation chills Chinese founders, and Jensen Huang calls for US-China AI dialogue.Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG's new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kpmg.us/Navigate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Granola - The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. 100% off your first 3 months with code AIDAILY at ⁠http://granola.ai/aidaily⁠Mercury - Modern banking for business and now personal accounts.

Ships are altering course as the US Navy's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues into its third day, and PwC plans to overhaul its global consulting business. Plus, insurers are turning to catastrophe bonds to cover data centres, and AI chatbots aren't a substitute for doctors when it comes to medical diagnoses.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Chris Desmond, leader of PwC's US Global Trade Services practice and, as Doug notes, a ‘reformed transfer pricing partner.' Doug and Chris discuss the current fragmented trade environment, why tariffs may remain a lasting feature rather than a short cycle, rising customs enforcement, the Supreme Court's IEEPA decision and the operational complexity of securing refunds, and how companies should assess gross-versus-net refund exposure across suppliers and customers. They also cover why the tariff environment is forcing customs, tax, and transfer pricing teams to work more closely together, how first sale operates and why it remains under scrutiny, and practical steps tax leaders should take on coordination, data, and documentation.
