Operations

How are you balancing local execution with global capabilities?

Companies are looking to make sure that the way they operate is right for the markets they’re in. The CEOs we surveyed for our 15th Annual Global CEO Survey are investing to build different capabilities in priority locations. But businesses also want to make the most of global scale.

 

What does it mean for your business?

The right businesses in the right markets:

  • In each of their markets, companies are looking to make sure that the business they’re in is exactly right for that market...
  • ...So they’re building local capabilities in areas such as manufacturing, innovation and servicing.
  • How are you operating like a ‘multi-local’ business?

It’s a balancing act:

  • How can your business operations be agile and responsive to local conditions ...
  • ...yet exploit the advantages of global processes, standards and economies of scale?
