As CEOs seek solutions, our survey data shows there are still plenty of opportunities for businesses to broaden collaboration outside of traditional industries and to work together as a community of solvers with governments, academics, entrepreneurs and the not-for-profit sector. New thinking may result in new ideas.
“CEOs and their executive teams must be bold in how they reframe their businesses to thrive in the digital era – from how they serve customers, to the business models they pursue, to ways in which work within their organisations get done,” says Rohit Antao, PwC Australia’s Cloud & Digital Business Lead.
One thing is certain, according to Seymour, “Business leaders have already been put to the test over the past few years and should expect more change. As CEOs we’ll need to lead our companies through more transformation over the next 10 years than we’ve seen in the past 50.”
