AS ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY clouds the immediate fortunes for businesses, a recent survey from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) found that CEOs remain focused on positioning their businesses for growth. According to the report, "CEO Outlook 2023: Caution, Optimism and Navigating the Road Ahead," 73% of C-suite executives expect macro-economic uncertainties to be a key challenge this year, yet 79% are optimistic in their company's performance. BCG said that "while cost cutting is clearly their priority, most companies are doing so in ways aimed at resetting their organizations for growth and enhancing resilience." The report noted that this nuanced CEO outlook holds true even in sectors where big layoffs have recently dominated the news. "For instance, top technology company executives in our survey cited retaining and developing talent and boosting innovation in the year ahead as equally important-if not higher-priorities than shedding workers, particularly in North America." |
