The CEO role has never been easy: the boss is ultimately in charge of forming the company’s new strategies, then marshaling the resources to deliver on them. But what we’re hearing now from the world’s CEOs is that their role is harder than ever. Accordingly, we’re doubling down on our commitment to support them. Our CEO Excellence research is generating a steady stream of insights on how the best CEOs consistently deliver results. And other colleagues continue to surface the issues that matter most to CEOs and their teams in the C-suite. In line with that, we’ve changed the focus (and the name) of this newsletter to signal our commitment to helping CEOs—both present and future—do the best jobs they can. Rest assured, we will continue to deliver, twice monthly, four articles and reports that are must-reads for people across the workforce—from C-level execs to the front line. In this edition, we look at the future of generative AI, software developer productivity, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.

All gen AI, all the time. It might feel like overload, but gen AI is just getting started. With so many current use cases—and hundreds, if not thousands, more on the horizon—knowing how to apply the technology to your business can seem daunting. To help, we’ve pulled together 15 of our most insightful charts, not only to offer ideas about where gen AI is headed, but also to help business leaders in a wide variety of industries put this tool to work, creating efficiencies and value.

What do you call it when carmakers sell insurance, bankers sell furniture, accountants sell HR services, and a few superapps sell all the above and more? We call it the ecosystem economy. Senior partners Venkat Atluri and Miklós Dietz have documented a massive shift from industry sectors to customer-focused ecosystems and make the case that this might be the biggest economic reorganization in history. What will it mean for your company? 

Read or listen to the latest episode of our Inside the Strategy Room podcast, Strategies to win in the new ecosystem economy, and order the book if you’d like to go deeper.
