Monthly Highlights, April 2023
Senior partners Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra, authors of CEO Excellence, along with senior partner Kurt Strovink, asked the world’s top-performing CEOs which trends will have the biggest impact on how they lead their business in 2023 compared with past years. Their answers suggest that three “true signals” are most important: digital disruption, the economy, and geopolitics. This month’s first featured story looks at the specific and pragmatic actions CEOs are taking as a result of these signals. Our second featured story offers advice for senior executives looking to ascend to the CEO role. Other highlights in this month’s issue include the following topics:
- the state of global private markets in 2023
- how a company can chart a path to building a superpower
- how generative AI can help fashion businesses
- how organizations can better support their managers to deliver more value
