Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study (2010)
ž The life expectancy of firms on the Fortune 500 has
   rapidly declined to around 15 years and is headed
   for 5 years
ž The rate of return on assets (ROA) of U.S. firms has
   fallen by 75% since 1965
ž Business model life cycle is down to 7 years
ž 80% of new products and services fail within 3 years
ž 95% of CEO’s agree on the increased need for
   enterprise innovation, yet half acknowledge they
   have no team or process for this. Of those that do
   have a team/process, how many are satisfied with it?
“Without exception, all of
my biggest mistakes
occurred because I moved
too slowly.”
--John Chambers, Cisco CEO,


“He [Chambers] also radically changed
    the way he managed, turning a
 command-and-control hierarchy into a
   more democratic organizational
              structure.”
Agility is the
  ability to create
  and respond to
change in order to
     profit in a
 turbulent business
    environment.
“88% of executives cite organizational agility as
           key to global success.”

“50% say that agility is not only important, but a
             core differentiator.”
