20th Global CEO Survey: 20 Years Inside the Mind of the CEO

Overview

The pattern of growth in the world is shifting, and every CEO knows that the forces propelling globalized, technology-driven business are accelerating. At the same time there is resistance to deeper global economic integration building, and concerns over global policy risks like protectionism are rising. How to plot a course for growth in this environment? In the 20th Global CEO Survey, 1,379 CEOs in 79 countries (including 114 US CEOs) were asked just that. Three imperatives emerge: managing man and machine to create a workforce that’s fit for the digital age; preserving organizational trust in a world of increasingly virtual interactions; and making globalization work for everyone by ensuring the benefits are distributed more fairly.
