Key issues: Strategy and growth

While the shape of the global economic recovery remains uncertain, companies in the United States and around the world are wasting no time charting new courses for sustainable growth and building a competitive advantage. Companies may be pursuing new sources of efficiency and growth, transforming their strategies, organizations and operating models to gain new competitive advantage.

In the US, in particular, PwC's 13th Annual Global CEO Survey finds a renewed business confidence. In fact, a quarter of US CEOs who participated in this survey are very confident about revenue growth prospects this year.

Directors will want to understand how their companies are adapting to these new circumstances, taking advantage of opportunities in global markets, leveraging technology, and recalibrating talent, as well as what part acquisitions may play in their growth plans.

PwC perspective

Catherine Bromilow
“Directors should insist that time is made for meaningful strategy discussions. Those discussions work best when directors bring their combined perspectives and experience to collaborate with management in exploring opportunities, push management to stretch in expanding products and geographic reaches, and help management navigate the pitfalls ever present in forging new paths."
—Catherine Bromilow, Partner, Center for Board Governance
