A new survey of 607 U.S. executives has found that only 17% of executives now anticipate a recession, while 74% believe they can attract and retain the talent they need.
The PwC Pulse Survey also found that executives’ top strategic priority over the next three to five years is embedding new technologies into their business.
However, the executives indicated they’re struggling to achieve measurable value with new technology, with 75% of leaders saying employee fears that technology will make their jobs obsolete also present a challenge in transforming their businesses.
In the next 12 to 18 months, about one in two leaders said they will invest in new technologies (59%), and 46% expect to invest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) specifically. See more survey results.
