Survey

Talent-led transformation in a post-pandemic world

How can global business leaders deliver on ambitions of growth and reinvention?

As CEO confidence continues to rise in a bull market where competition for talent is fierce, we investigate the reality of delivering on growth aspirations among publicly quoted, private, family-owned and private equity-backed businesses. 

Talent-led transformation in a post-pandemic world: how can business leaders deliver on ambitions of growth and reinvention? draws on findings from a global survey of 528 CEOs and board members, country and division heads, HR, finance, tech and marketing leaders. The data reveal that while leaders are confident in their organisations’ growth potential, there is a lack of talent aligned to strategy, inconsistent thinking across the leadership team and that different skills are needed at the board-level. We discover how organisations are addressing these challenges and their priorities for talent investment through 2022.
