It’s never been a more difficult time to be a leader. Powerful Megatrends—from climate change and technological disruption to demographic shifts and a fracturing world—are exacerbating the social challenges the world faces, making it difficult for societies to come together and fight for positive change.
The imperative to act is clear. CEOs expect more pressure over the next three years than they experienced over the previous five. And 45% believe their companies will no longer be viable in ten years if they continue on their current path according to PwC's CEO Survey 2024.

The findings of our 28th Annual Global CEO Survey show that CEOs are reaping early productivity gains from Generative AI and rising payoffs from investments in sustainability. The challenge is to increase scope and speed.
In his new book, TEN YEARS TO MIDNIGHT: Four Urgent Global Crises and Their Strategic Solutions, Blair Sheppard sets out why that timeline is so crucial, what the most urgent challenges are and the key elements of a solution. He argues that the 70-year period of economic and social progress kicked off by the Marshall Plan has now unraveled. Instead of a steady story of progress, the world faces four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. He argues for greater emphasis on local economies (local first) as well as on scaling innovative solutions quickly (massive, fast), a fundamental reshaping of innovation policy to bake societal outcomes into technological development, greater use of public private partnerships with clear goals, and more inclusive measures of success.
