6 out of 10 global companies have already adopted generative AI for business automation
80% of global CEOs expect positive company growth this year... 46% intend to launch new services and products within a year
It is necessary to develop a meticulous response strategy that accurately reflects external threat factors such as geopolitical instability and global regulations.
Deloitte Korea Group announced the ‘Global CEO Survey’ jointly conducted by Deloitte Global and Fortune. This survey was based on a questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews conducted in February this year with 107 global CEOs representing more than 20 industries.
According to the report, 58% of CEOs are adopting generative AI in the area of business automation, and 48% have plans to introduce generative AI outside of the automation field. Also, 8 out of 10 global company CEOs expressed a positive outlook for their industry. This figure is up about 11 percentage points from 69% the previous year. 65% of CEOs cited geopolitical conflicts as the biggest issue they currently face, and 76% predicted that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the third quarter of this year.
The purpose of global companies adopting generative AI is to improve efficiency and productivity, and reduce costs
The adoption of generative AI is accelerating. While 56% of CEOs expect the primary benefits of generative AI adoption to be improved operational efficiency and productivity and cost reduction, they also identified the actual implementation and operation of AI and risk management related to AI adoption as the factors that will have the greatest impact on their companies in the next 12 months.
Among CEOs who have already implemented generative AI, 58% are using it for business automation, 56% for efficiency improvement, and 50% for automated content creation. Among CEOs planning to implement generative AI, 28% plan to use it for business automation, 36% for efficiency improvement, and 35% for automated content creation.
CEOs ranked improved efficiency and productivity and cost reduction (56%) as their top priority for generative AI adoption, followed by improvements to existing products and services (22%). Jason Girzadas, US CEO of Deloitte, said, “While the adoption of generative AI is still in its early stages, it is being considered a significant opportunity to enhance operational efficiency, optimize costs, and drive innovation.” He added, “CEOs are cautiously optimistic about the global economic recovery, which is supporting their positive view of growth within their organizations and industries.”
27% of CEOs are optimistic about the global economy this year, and 48% of CEOs predict the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the third quarter.
27% of CEOs expressed a very optimistic outlook for the global economy this year, a 20 percentage point increase compared to 7% last year. The percentage of respondents who answered pessimistically was only 24% this year, down 24 percentage points from 48% last year. Also, 53% of CEOs expect a positive outlook for their industry this year, up 13 percentage points from 40% last year. Only 8% expressed a pessimistic outlook.
They are also brimming with confidence. The number of CEOs who viewed their company's growth prospects positively rose to 80%, up 11 percentage points from 69% the previous year. Only 1% viewed their company's growth negatively. 22% of CEOs are confident in their company's growth, and 46% also indicated that they would launch new services and products within 12 months. Regarding the possibility of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut, nearly half (48%) said it would be in the third quarter. However, 10% of respondents also said there would be no interest rate cut this year, indicating that 1 out of 10 CEOs remains skeptical about an interest rate cut this year. Furthermore, 57% of CEOs cited actively applying new businesses to business models as their top priority in business plans and projects to pursue.
Meanwhile, 65% of CEOs cited geopolitical instability as the biggest external threat factor to their business operations in the future, a 14 percentage point increase from October of last year. Concerns about inflation were the same as geopolitical instability at 51% last year, but this year, concerns about financial and market instability have increased, causing them to drop to 27%. Global regulation recorded 36%, confirming that it remains a key concern for CEOs. Concerns about securing specialized personnel and a shortage of technology have decreased to 25%, nearly half compared to last year. This was followed by trust crises (25%) and ideological polarization (18%).
Meanwhile, the majority of CEOs selected ‘challenging’ and ‘volatile’ as keywords describing the current business environment. They cited ‘AI’ as the factor that could have the greatest impact on their business (Next big thing).
Succession planning, Most global CEOs participate... 28% of CEOs say there are no strong successor candidates
The majority of global CEOs participating in the survey are involved in all aspects of succession planning related to selecting the next CEO, particularly in candidate selection and succession planning. 82% and 91% of respondents respectively indicated that they are currently involved in candidate identification and development, while only 73% and 42% indicated that the entire board of directors is involved. In addition, 56% of CEOs said they have strong successor candidates in place for CEO succession planning and preparation, and the criteria for their successors. However, 28% of CEOs responded that they do not.
Jaeho Son, Head of Growth Strategy at Deloitte Korea Group, said, “According to the report, global CEOs view the business environment this year as challenging but are optimistic about company and industry growth. They are also focusing on optimizing business operating costs and continuing efforts to integrate new technologies, such as generative AI, into their business models. In this context, businesses need to accurately recognize external threat factors such as geopolitical instability and global regulations and develop a careful response strategy.” He added, “We hope the insights from the report will help companies identify business opportunities and develop strategies in an uncertain outlook.”
