These days, it feels like we are living in the business world’s version of Billy Joel’s 1989 hit, “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Inflation, geopolitical tensions, energy shortages, labor shortages, employees’ evolving expectations, rising interest rates, increasing cyber and data risks, insatiable investor expectations — the list goes on. Just like the song says, today’s business leaders did not necessarily create this economic environment by ourselves, but it is ours to address and lead through.
So, what are today’s leading businesses doing? They are keeping it simple and are focusing on what they can control. They are working hard to grow operating revenues more than they are growing operating expensesHow? As I talk with CEOs, the commonality between companies is striking.

This means investing in digital transformation across functions, accelerating management decisions, driving change more aggressively and holding people accountable.
