Executives plan to increase productivity in the Philippines: survey

They plan to do the same in Singapore.

Corporate Executive Board released Executive Guidance for 2013 – an annual survey of global business leaders which looks at how companies are innovating for corporate growth in a low-growth environment.

The survey revealed that executives around the globe are asking for a 20% jump in performance in 2013 and Asian executives are asking for a 29% jump on average from their employees.

Key Highlights
· The majority of executives surveyed believe revenues will increase in the coming year (59%), but they anticipate continued pressure to lower costs (67%).
· Profitable growth will continue to put pressure on employees to be more efficient—only 32% of executives plan to increase head count despite optimism around revenue.
· On average, global executives believe they will need a 20% improvement in performance over and above current levels in order to meet their business objectives.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
