Macro Bites: Value creation strategies in an economy at crossroads

November 05, 2024

The global economy is characterized by an environment of easing inflation, central banks cutting rates, cooling demand growth and elevated geopolitical tensions. Still, 69% of CEOs are focused on driving growth amid the uncertainty. Gregory Daco, EY-Parthenon Chief Economist and Jeremy Redenius, Principal, EY-Parthenon, Ernst & Young LLP, discuss how business leaders can benefit from thinking like investors to chart a path forward with confidence.

Key takeaways

  • With our Enterprise Reimagined approach, CEOs can adopt an investor mindset to create enterprise value focusing on cash flows, returns on capital and growth.
  • As many companies have weathered the storm of cost inflation, leaders can refocus on holistic value creation and make their companies more nimble and more competitive.
  • Aligning compensation incentives more with cash flow and return on capital is essential to create long-term value.
