C-Suite 2026: Outlook & Sentiment Study

Webcast Panel and Survey Announced

Chicago, IL—November 6, 2025— The sentiments and outlooks of Presidents and CEOs, COOs and Operations executives, CFOs and related executives will be identified by this important study at a time of rapidly changing business and economic environments. The C-Suite 2026: Outlook & Sentiment Study seeks to help understand how top executives are managing corporate strategy, planning, and priorities. The study results will be previewed at a complimentary webcast panel discussion scheduled for January 27, 2026, 1 PM CST (registration link below).

With unpredictable macro-economics, unprecedented geopolitical risk, and ongoing talent challenges, how will senior executives manage in 2026 and beyond? 

The annual study will identify a Financial Performance Index (FPI), along with expectations for financial metrics, spending and talent in 2026. And no sentiment study would be complete without the “What keeps you up at night” question.

“The C-Suite Outlook and Sentiment study will identify important benchmarks and key trends to help top executives manage more effectively in these challenging environments”, states Neil Brown, CEO of Executive Councils. “C-Suite executives are encouraged to take the survey and receive a complimentary copy of the study report, and register for the webcast panel that will preview the study results.”
