- I'm Edie Lush.
I'm here in the studio, it's Davos 2023.
Very pleased to be here with Neeraj Aggarwal.
Thanks for coming by.
- Edie, thank you for having me.
- You are the Regional Chair for Asia Pacific, for BCG.
So I wonder what keeps leaders,
that you speak to awake at night in these times?
- So look, I'm listening as I'm talking to the leaders,
I'm picking up a few things.
Maybe if I pick my top three.
Number one is the playbook that they had for the past,
coming into this year.
A playbook where interest rates were low.
A playbook where the world was
geopolitically more predictable.
A playbook where, you know,
in general there was less uncertainty.
It's a playbook which is not working anymore.
So they're saying we need a new playbook,
we don't know what it is.
So that's point number one.
- Number one.
- So you know, number two is they made many commitments,
on climate and sustainability targets.
And some of them have been quite audacious,
but a bit of reality is sinking in and saying,
"oh my gosh, what did I sign up for
and how do I really make it happen?"
- Right.
- So I think that will be the number two.
And the third is over the last three to five years,
digital has been a big swing factor.
It's really kept the businesses going,
in this period of the pandemic.
But they're saying that,
have we really got the advantage out of digital?
Have we really juiced it?
And I think seven out of ten CEOs, if I was to crudely say,
are still deeply unsatisfied,
with what they're getting out of it.
- Interesting.
