IBM has surveyed 1,130 CEOs who are collectively responsible for 2.224 trillion dollars of revenue.
The 2008 study uses their “collective insights and wisdom” to formulate what IBM calls “The Enterprise of the Future”—an enterprise that encompasses these traits
- hungry for change;
- innovative beyond customer imagination;
- globally integrated;
- disruptive by nature;
- genuine, not just generous.
“This Global CEO Study report presents findings related to each of the attributes of the Enterprise of the Future. It draws on the rich insights from our CEO s through statistical and financial analyses as well as the voices of the CEO s themselves. Each chapter concludes with some implications and thoughts about how organizations can move forward toward becoming an Enterprise of the Future and a case study to illustrate a leading company.”
Additionally, there are two other reports available, the IBM Global CFO Study and the IBM Global Human Capital Study.
No matter the size of your company, they’re worth downloading (free registration required) and reading. There’s plenty of food for discussion and I plan to refer to them on and off over the next few weeks.
