Growth Remains a Top Priority for CEOs
Strategic Priorities for Businesses
53 percent of the respondents named growth as a top 3 priority, up from just 40 percent in last year’s survey. “After a significant fall last year, mentions of growth increased this year to 53 percent,” said Mark Raskino, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. “This suggests that CEOs have switched their focus back to tactical performance as clouds gather on the horizon.”
As the digital transformation continues, IT-related challenges are also high on the agenda of senior executives, ranking second ahead of corporate development (e.g. new strategy, corporate partnerships and M&A) and financial issues.
