• 82 percent lack confidence in global economic growth over the next 12 months, while 45 percent express the same concern about growth in the APAC region
• 64 percent expect to conduct M&A over the next 12 months 
• 43 percent identify the senior leadership team as their most challenging stakeholder group 
• Only 27 percent of leaders are highly confident that their senior leadership teams have the right skills and capabilities to navigate strategic uncertainty
