14th global CEO survey - UK plc emerges for growth
The 14th annual global CEO survey results show that globally CEOs are almost as optimistic around growth as in the boom years.
In the UK the results found CEOs of major UK companies taking a measured view. As the Government’s austerity drive begins to bite, leading UK companies have had a wake-up call that to pursue growth they need to focus on higher-growth markets across the world.
However, CEOs know that this will require them to tackle challenges to growth, primarily around working more effectively with government, reshaping and refocusing their global operations, realising the full potential of innovation, and harnessing the best talent.
