Get ready for the productivity push
We live in a world disrupted by escalating risks and uncertainties. A fracturing world order and rising geopolitical conflict are inflicting a devastating human toll and undermining the collective gains from decades of globalization. Populations are aging rapidly, with profound implications for how we live and work. Cybercrime, disinformation, polarization, and diminished trust in institutions are the new reality of our hyper-connected existence.
Download the reportFor over 40 years, AlixPartners has been helping our clients confront disruption. Increasingly, cycles of disruption have displaced economic cycles as the primary business challenge. Disruption is the new economic driver. In our findings from the 6th annual AlixPartners Disruption Index, based on a survey of 3,200 senior executives around the world, we look at the challenges those executives identify, as well as the behaviors of those companies that are thriving in this disrupted world.
The results show that companies are beginning to develop the mindset, tools, and resources to address these issues. Data from the Disruption Index survey lend support to the idea that new technologies, operating models, and ways of working are driving a workplace revolution, leading to material gains in productivity. The winners will be those who push hardest today.
“While disruptive forces continue to shape the CEO playbook, more and more business leaders are gaining confidence and citing diminishing anxiety about their ability to manage their impacts. The very best performers, however, are now moving beyond simply managing disruptive circumstances and are instead embracing and harnessing them. For example, they are leaning into AI and digital technology like never before, recognizing it as more than a tool to drive efficiency, but rather as an important productivity enabler that augments human intelligence to drive growth.”
