PWC CEO Survey and Change

More on change. I received a copy of the PWC 11'th Annual CEO Survey from a friend at PWC. You can find it at http://www.pwc.com/ceosurvey.

Section highlights;

• Talent remains a major issue, but results fall short – suggesting competitiveness
  is hampered while opportunities lie within reach.


• Two-thirds of CEOs want recruitment, motivation and development improved.
  But they give HR a low vote of confidence.


• Leaders and all-around performers prove hardest to find, while organisational
  structures get in the way of collaborative people.


• Senior or middle management weaknesses are blamed most often for hindering
  change programmes.


• A gap separates vision from execution. Discipline is needed to drive strategies
  through tactics, structures and results.

This says very clearly (and looking at the detailed survey results confirms) that our CEO's have a focus on change and we are often perceived as obstacles to change.
