2017 Global CEO Outlook Survey

2017 Global CEO Outlook Survey

The 2017 Global CEO Outlook discusses how disruption has become a fact of life for CEOs and their businesses as they respond to heightened uncertainty. As they do so, most see disruption as an opportunity to transform their business model, develop new products and services, and re-shape their business so it is even more successful than it has been in the past. KPMG’s 2017 Global CEO Outlook reveals insights from nearly 1,300 CEOs in 10 of the world’s largest economies. With continued pressure to deliver on the bottom line, CEOs are keenly focused on managing their business’ core strengths while transforming the way they create value.

Today, more than ever before, leading a business is about challenging convention and driving radical change. Three in four CEOs in the survey (74 percent) say their company is striving to be the disruptor in its sector.

There are many reasons why CEOs are embracing disruption. We have witnessed a shake-up of the geopolitical status quo by way of the elections in the US, the UK and other countries. Above all, technology-driven change is sweeping through industries and economies on a global scale.

While these developments are welcome for some, they have created an even greater level of uncertainty. In turn, CEOs are championing new ways of creating value to ensure their businesses are not left behind. Respondents say they are making innovation a top strategic priority, as well as a key initiative designed to achieve growth.
