Navigating today's business landscape is more complex than ever. CEOs face a myriad of challenges, from emerging risks to disruptive external events. In this environment, designing and delivering a strategy that optimizes value for all stakeholders is paramount.

At EY, we recognize the dynamic nature of this task. That's why we conduct our quarterly EY Global CEO Outlook Pulse survey, gathering insights from 1,200 CEOs worldwide. This survey delves into the evolving transformations within companies, driven by executive leadership.

Through our CEO survey, we aim to provide executives with valuable insights to adapt quickly and lead their organizations through uncertain times. By understanding the current trends and challenges, CEOs can articulate a clear purpose that resonates with all stakeholders.
