Fall 2023 Fortune/Deloitte CEO Survey Summary

The survey, based on responses from CEOs across 26 industries and over 93% from U.S.-based organizations, explored market outlook, Generative AI adoption, and business priorities. Key findings include:

• CEO growth expectations have slightly decreased from June 2023 but remain higher than October 2022. Sixty-nine percent are optimistic about their company's performance, while concerns about the global economy and specific industries persist.

• Top external challenges include geopolitical instability, inflation, labor/skill shortages, and regulation, with many CEOs expecting these to influence business strategy. Confidence in navigating these issues is high for geopolitical issues and skills shortages.

• Generative AI adoption is advancing from evaluation to broader implementation, with many organizations experimenting or limitedly using it for efficiency and innovation. Interest rates have modestly impacted investment, but nearly one-third of CEOs are reducing investments without widespread changes accommodating China.

• Hybrid work models remain flexible, with varying preferences for in-office time, often varying by job function.

• Attracting and retaining talent drives many organizations' focus on purpose and sustainability. Sustainability efforts emphasize measurement and reporting, while DEI investments are integrated into strategic goals, with diversity-related initiatives enhancing talent management.

CEOs cite major challenges like managing uncertainty, growth pressures, and disruptive technology, reflecting a need to balance short-term issues with long-term investments and technological proficiency.
