Aerospace & Defense

Aerospace & defense companies operate in a world of increasing uncertainty. The shift to sustainable aviation and space sector development present challenge and opportunity in equal measure. New innovators in the market pose threats across every segment. And as technology advances, defense and aviation players must ramp up budgets and build more robust supply chains to keep pace. Those that can create breakthroughs in innovation and harness convergence – adopting the most promising technologies from outside the sector – will find opportunity in change, improve their competitiveness and lead a wave of progress that opens new frontiers.

Making the invisible visible

First published in 1988 to reflect the breadth and depth of Arthur D. Little’s global thinking, PRISM brings together bold ideas, real-world insight, and forward-looking perspectives on the future of business. It is where long-term vision meets practical execution.

PRISM has its roots in Arthur D. Little’s long tradition of translating breakthrough thinking into business impact. Over time, it has evolved from a classic thought-leadership print publication into a dynamic digital platform — designed for today’s executives, board members, and decision-makers who need more than headlines or hype.

What hasn’t changed is the intent: to challenge conventional wisdom, explore what’s next before it becomes obvious, and help leaders make sense of complexity. Each article combines visionary thinking with actionable lessons — helping leaders not just anticipate change, but shape it. 

PRISM is written for leaders who are curious, ambitious, and responsible for making high-stakes decisions in uncertain times. It is designed to inform, inspire, and occasionally provoke — because progress rarely comes from playing it safe.
