Our 2025 C-Suite Outlook survey shows businesses are preparing for ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges and anticipating a potentially tough operating environment in 2025. The challenge for business leaders is how to thrive, not just survive such a turbulent and unpredictable environment.
Since 1999, The Conference Board has surveyed CEOs and later C-Suite executives across the globe to identify the most critical issues they face and the strategies they’re developing to meet them. Our latest survey, conducted November 7–29, 2024 (after the US elections), asked 1,722 C-Suite executives and board members, including 508 CEOs, for their views on the issues and events they expect to significantly impact their business in 2025, how AI is helping their organizations improve performance, what their human capital challenges are, and which plans and strategies they will use to steer their businesses through the turbulence.
