Only 30% of CEOs are confident about near‑term growth, even as pressure continues to rise. That’s one of the stark findings from our 29th Global CEO Survey. 🌍This special episode of Take on Tomorrow, filmed on the ground at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, explores what’s driving this shift in confidence and what it means for leaders navigating constant uncertainty. From balancing short‑term pressures with long‑term priorities to rethinking how growth is built, the conversation reveals why there is no such thing as business as usual anymore. Listen to insights from Dion Shango, Senior Partner, PwC Africa, and Agnes Koops-Aukes, Global Vice Chair and Global Chief Commercial Officer, PwC, who share what they are hearing directly from leaders and why agility, trust and bold decision‑making matter now more than ever. 🎧 Head to our page to listen and subscribe to ensure you are first to know when our new season launches: pwc.com/takeontomorrow #TakeOnTomorrow #WEF26 #CEOSurvey

At the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos this year, geopolitics dominated the agenda, with constant developments shaping the discussion. Alongside it, AI was never far behind, and business leaders were asking some tough questions: Are we moving fast enough, and are our AI investments really delivering results? Petra Justenhoven, our Senior Partner and Chair, PwC Deutschland and PwC Europe, shares her reflections from those conversations — including why many organisations are still struggling to translate AI investment into growth or cost benefits, and what anticipative leadership really means. Looking beyond the next 12 months, Petra reflects on why leaders need to think several years ahead, and take action now. #WEF26 #Davos

A week on from the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, one message continues to stand out: artificial intelligence is no longer optional. Even amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, organisations aren’t hitting pause. Instead, leaders are focused on how AI can help them operate across markets, manage complexity, and unlock new sources of growth — not just cut costs. 📽️ Our Global Chairman Mohamed Kande shares what came through most clearly in conversations last week: why AI has become one of the most powerful levers for transformation, and why asking the right questions matters as much as moving quickly. He reflects on the importance of listening, learning fast, planning for multiple scenarios, and leading with agility as businesses navigate an increasingly connected and unpredictable world. #WEF26 #Davos

🌍 At a time when business faces deep uncertainty, our 29th Global CEO Survey shows leaders worldwide are balancing short-term pressures with long-term reinvention — navigating geopolitical shifts, rapid tech change and evolving talent landscapes. In his article for the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting, our Global Chairman Mohamed Kande reflects on what CEOs are saying — and need to know in 2026, including why volatility is the new baseline, how AI and digital ecosystems are reshaping competitiveness, and why adaptive leadership matters now more than ever. https://lnkd.in/erNurm2T #CEOSurvey #Davos #WEF26

📽️ This year at Davos, geopolitics and rapid technological change are dominating the agenda, and increasingly, the two are inseparable. Shifts in capital, investment timelines and technology are reshaping industries, creating a business landscape that is partly familiar, but in many cases entirely new. 🗣️ Our PwC UK and PwC Middle East Senior Partner Marco Amitrano shares what he's hearing from leaders on the ground, from how they're rethinking where returns will come from, to the role technology is playing in not just transforming organisations, but reinventing them. He also reflects on why gathering different perspectives at Davos matters, and how those insights should shape strategic decisions long after the week is over. #WEF26 #Davos

📈 At Davos, one theme is cutting through the noise: volatility is no longer an exception - it's the environment businesses must operate in. As a result, leaders are rethinking resilience, placing greater emphasis on agility, optionality and long-term scenario planning, alongside more deliberate investment in emerging technologies like AI. 🗣️ Our US Senior Partner Paul Griggs shares the shift in mindset he's seeing among executives at Davos, including how organisations are moving from AI pilots to enterprise adoption, strengthening workforce adaptability and engaging boards in smarter decision-making. #WEF26 #Davos
