9 in 10 C-Suite leaders expect a faster rate of change in business environment

Only a few of them are fully prepared to respond to changes in a business environment.

The majority (94%) of leaders in Singapore expect a faster rate of change in the business environment this year, data from Accenture's "Pulse of Change: 2024 Index" showed.

More than half of business leaders (57%) see these changes as an opportunity.

Despite the optimism, only 48% of C-suite leaders in Singapore feel fully prepared to respond to these changes.

The annual index analyses six factors of change affecting businesses namely: technology, talent, economic, geopolitical, climate and consumer, and social through a range of key business indicators such as labour productivity and IT spending.

Amongst changes expected by C-suite leaders is the acceleration of the pace of technology disruption to accelerate in 2024 (88%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
