CEO Outlook: 2021 EY CEO survey highlights with Graham Reid, EY

What issues are top of mind for the CEOs of Ireland’s leading organisations? This is the question that the EY CEO Imperatives study set out to answer, and the results are revealed in this episode of The EY CEO Outlook podcast series.

305 CEOs of the Forbes Global 2000 were surveyed about their perspectives on the DNA of the future enterprise, and the findings provide a fascinating insight into how the Covid-19 pandemic has rearranged and changed the priority list for business leaders.

In this podcast, EY Ireland Head of Markets, Graham Reid, discusses the survey results with host Richard Curran, covering areas including:

· The rise of purpose and empathy as a highly-valued characteristic in senior leaders.

· Intangible value – what it is, and why so many CEOs value it so highly?

· Why the hybrid work model is the future.

· Mitigating digital risk while building trust and security.

· Building Sustainability into all areas of the business, and why that is a rewarding long term play.
