New research uncovers diverse responses to macro uncertainty across the Asia Pacific region and what regional enterprise leaders can learn from each other

Asia Pacific’s business leaders remain upbeat about their prospects even as they face the triple threat of climate change, global conflict, and financial instability. However, our latest research shows how leaders’ responses to these regional and global challenges differ substantially between countries - as do the risks they perceive and the priorities they’re setting.

In the report Rising with the tide, our research partners ThoughtLab and Dabster surveyed a range of enterprise leaders across Australia/New Zealand, India, Japan, and Singapore on how they’re facing macro uncertainties and environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related risks. Most expressed cautious optimism about the future, stressing the importance of using technology to regain ground in affected areas like customer loyalty and talent shortages. Yet when we delved deeper, we found a diversity of strategies and priorities that leaders could learn from.
