In 2022, CEO confidence peaked. Everything since has been a reset. CEOs are usually optimistic. This year, there’s a noticeable dose of humility. These reflections come from the 29th PwC Global CEO Survey, which I have been using with clients for the past 15 years. The longitudinal view tells the story clearly. Short-term confidence in revenue growth peaked in 2022 and has declined sharply since, even as longer-term confidence has proven more resilient. It’s a meaningful shift in tone. An example being an acknowledgment that AI ROI remains elusive: - 56% of organisations are not seeing measurable upside. - Only 12% have both cut costs and grown revenue. This mirrors what I’m seeing with clients. AI success requires more than FOMO investing. End-to-end transformation, reimagining work, redesigning processes, and putting in place the right data, agents, security, compute and ways of working is far harder than most business cases and adoption curves suggest. I was surprised to see 69% of CEOs agree their culture enables AI adoption - especially when our November global workforce survey highlighted only 14% use Generative AI daily. As Paul Griggs said in yesterday live World Economic Forum press briefing: “AI raises the floor for all employees, but it’s leaders who raise the ceiling.” The challenge now is not the technology itself, but how leaders translate ambition into tangible outcomes in a more volatile world. On the growth agenda, 42% of CEOs have started competing in new sectors/industries in the last few years. Industry convergence and cross-sector collaboration is no longer theoretical. I see it playing out in real time with clients. In India, tech firms, telcos, governments and infrastructure players are collaborating on AI-ready data centre build-outs, such as Google partnering with AdaniConnex and Airtel in Visakhapatnam. These investments are already catalysing new ecosystem plays, investments in infrastructure and creating new jobs. Another area I see this is within retail, tech and financial services (payments) with agentic commerce enabling a very different consumer experience and access to credit, where relevant. 🔗 Full report here and kudos to our team for pulling together another excellent set of CEO insights https://lnkd.in/epMPrPDn #pwcceosurvey #wef26 #leadership #AI #ceosurvey
