Most global CEOs recognise the benefits of using research and analytics to provide more confident decision making. 94% of global CEOs believe that organisations should do more to measure the impact of their business activities. However, less than 25% believe that research outputs currently provide real value.
PwC Research has a wealth of experience working with clients globally to provide evidence and insight to drive strategic change, support decision-making, mitigate risk, and enhance performance.
