About YPO Global Pulse

Unique insights from chief executives around the world

The new YPO Global Pulse survey focuses on what’s on the minds of chief executives around the world regarding topics that influence businesses and leadership and impact the world. This first edition highlights disruptive and emerging technologies that are affecting businesses and the extent to which business leaders are engaging them.

YPO is an independent organization with no inherent bias or issue advocacy agenda. Our new Global Pulse survey is statistically relevant across the globe, and not focused on a single country, industry or type of business. Because we do not focus on just the largest companies, our survey of chief executives provides perspectives across a wider portion of the global economy.

The survey was conducted between 6-15 February 2018 and gathered insight from 842 YPO members across 28 industry sectors and 15 regions of the world.
