He argues that the 70-year period of economic and social progress kicked off by the Marshall Plan has now unraveled. Instead of a steady story of progress, the world faces four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. He argues for greater emphasis on local economies (local first) as well as on scaling innovative solutions quickly (massive, fast), a fundamental reshaping of innovation policy to bake societal outcomes into technological development, greater use of public private partnerships with clear goals, and more inclusive measures of success.Corporate news|2020Global Top 100 companies bounce back from March 2020 lowshttps://www.pwc.com/gx/en/news-room/press-releases/2020/global-top-100-june-update.html2023-10-16T05:16:46Z2020-07-27T14:00:00ZGlobal equity markets have seen a strong bounce back from the low points seen in March 2020, but volatility remains elevatedTechnology and Cybersecurity|Insights & Thought Leadership|2020CEOs: Post-Covid changes are permanent and there are more to comehttps://www.pwc.com/gx/en/news-room/press-releases/2020/ceo-survey-covid-update.html2023-10-16T05:09:40Z2020-08-11T08:00:00ZA new PwC survey of CEOs across the globe looks at the outlook for growth and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the way businesses operate now and in the future.Technology and Cybersecurity|Insights & Thought Leadership|C-Suite Insights|Advisory and Transformation|2020The role of the finance function in measuring all aspects of organisational performance is set to increasehttps://www.pwc.com/gx/en/news-room/press-releases/2020/finance-insights-reimagined.html2023-10-16T05:09:52Z2020-08-24T04:00:00ZThe finance function will increasingly become a pivotal partner in driving forward-looking data insights to evaluate an organisation?s performance against its purpose, according to a new joint report by PwC and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).Technology and Cybersecurity|Insights & Thought Leadership|C-Suite Insights|Advisory and Transformation|2020PwC reports global revenues up 3% to US$43 billionhttps://www.pwc.com/gx/en/news-room/press-releases/2020/global-annual-revenues.html2023-10-16T05:15:47Z2020-08-25T13:00:00ZFor the 12 months ending 30 June 2020, PwC firms around the world had gross revenues of US$43 billion ? up 3% in local currency and 1.4% in US dollars.
