Monthly Highlights, January 2022
Days into the new year, the business environment remains complex, uncertain, and rapidly evolving. In the months and years ahead, companies will need both resilience to ride out shocks and agility to exploit emerging opportunities. The onus will be on the one on whom everyone relies as a catalyst for change: the CEO. This month, our featured stories look at how the CEO agenda is shifting as operations-related issues persist, as well as the mindsets that help the best CEOs deliver extraordinary impact. Other highlights in this month’s issue include the following topics:
  • the Omicron variant and what it holds in store
  • the state of global banking and what can be effective for long-term performance
  • AI’s spread and impact, the differentiators of AI outperformance, and ways to manage AI risk
  • how the fashion industry is expected to fare in 2022
