About the study
This study is part of the 32nd edition of the IBM Institute for BusinessValue (IBM IBV) C-suite Study series. For the 2025 CEO Study, IBM IBV, in
cooperation with Oxford Economics, surveyed 2,000 CEOs from 33
geographies and 24 industries in the first quarter of 2025. In addition to
survey responses, insights were drawn from numerous client
conversations, including a series of CEO interviews conducted between
February and April 2025. These conversations focused on business
priorities, leadership, technology, talent, partnering, regulation, industry
disruption, and enterprise transformation.
