Report from Arthur D. Little Finds Global CEOs Ready to Embrace Geopolitical and Technology Changes
AI is being used more in everyday life and is already making a measurable contribution to increasing productivity. However, CEOs are aware that further action is needed: only 29% now have a holistic, embedded AI strategy in place. This means that the majority have not yet used AI specifically where the greatest levers for growth can be expected: in the development of new business models and an increase in productivity. As it is, very few companies actually achieve the annual productivity increases of 8% they anticipate - in reality, an increase of only around 4% is being achieved.
Francesco Marsella, Managing Partner and Global Leader of the Growth and Transformation Practices at Arthur D. Little, comments: “The third edition of our global study shows that CEOs are ready for the unexpected, with mindsets that see change as an opportunity rather than a threat. CEOs feel well-positioned to not just cope with geopolitical and technology uncertainty, but to thrive and grow.”
Ignacio García Alves, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Arthur D. Little, comments: “Over the last three years our study shows a step-change in how the CEOs of the world’s largest companies operate. While they continue to have long-term goals, they are proactively adapting to a volatile world, confident in their ability to navigate whatever the future holds.”
The Arthur D. Little 2025 CEO Insights Study interviewed 309 global CEOs leading companies with a turnover of more than $1 billion, split between key industries and geographies.
