C-Suite Outlook 2022: Reset and Reimagine

/ Report

Surviving and Thriving in a Uniquely Challenging Business Environment

Inflation concerns are skyrocketing. Labor shortages are driving talent retention and recruitment to the top of the CEO agenda in 2022. How do CEOs plan to seize the opportunities? This year’s C-Suite Outlook, our 23rd annual survey, details the external stress points business leaders face and the impact of these stressors on growth strategies. We also explore C-suite views on the benefits and risks of hybrid work models, and priorities related to environmental, social & governance (ESG) topics. The report reflects the views of 1,614 C-suite executives, including 917 CEOs globally.

COVID-19 Is Proving to Be More of a Marathon Than a Sprint

At the start of 2021, many forecast that by year-end, the majority of the world population would be vaccinated and that most economies would shift into expansionary mode. However, one year later, only 44 percent of the global population is fully vaccinated, and herd immunity has yet to be achieved.[1] Our 2022 C-Suite Outlook survey shows that the pandemic will continue to shape a uniquely challenging business and human capital environment. Rising inflation, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and changing consumer behaviors are the high-impact events that are top of mind for CEOs and other C-suite executives. Each is directly tied to the pandemic, yet each also threatens to take on a life of its own. Executives will look to digital transformation, business model innovations and better cash flow management, more flexible supply chains, a values-based corporate culture, and innovative human capital management
