Resilience Pulse Check 2025

Appendix The research methodology combined quantitative and qualitative approaches to gather comprehensive insights from senior executives across various industries and regions. The primary data source was an online survey conducted between June and July 2024. The survey captured responses from 259 executives, representing a wide range of regions, industries, company sizes and functional specialties. Participants’ roles ranged from C-level executives to C-2 levels and functional heads. The sample predominantly included publicly listed companies, with the majority generating more than 1$ billion in annual revenue. The survey was designed to ensure diversified regional representation, with all regions contributing between 10- 20% of the sample, and broad industry coverage, with individual sectors accounting for between 4-14% of the total respondents. To supplement the survey findings and provide deeper qualitative context, additional in-depth interviews were conducted with selected executives from May to December 2024. These interviews provided valuable firsthand perspectives on key themes and strategic priorities, enriching the quantitative results. The combined data sources offer a robust and balanced view of current trends, challenges and opportunities as seen by global business leaders.
