The document summarizes findings from Boyden's quarterly Executive Outlook report on global hiring trends. It finds that following deep downturns, most aspects of executive hiring are now increasing across regions and sectors. In particular, demand is increasing for CEOs, CMOs, CSOs and HR executives. While growth is occurring, companies remain focused on maintaining optimal productivity with executive hiring often trailing company growth. Specific industries like consumer products, financial services, energy, technology and life sciences are experiencing rising demand for various executive roles.
The document summarizes a report from Boyden Executive Outlook that finds companies' boards and CEOs are bringing in new leadership in key roles to execute new growth strategies as the economic situation improves in some markets. Demand for senior management is increasing again in the financial services and technology sectors. Boards are also recruiting new members with more experience to prepare for 2010. Across industries like consumer/retail, technology, cleantech, and life sciences, companies are selectively hiring executives to fill important positions and take their organizations to the next level.
Tough times can make getting an eMBA degree all the more valuable _ Crain's David A. Dieter, PE, PMP
Tough economic times are driving more experienced professionals to pursue executive MBAs. With companies downsizing and demanding more from fewer employees, an eMBA provides critical skills in areas like finances, leadership, and change management. However, fewer employers are helping cover tuition, which can exceed $100,000 at top programs. Some students choose schools based on cost, pursuing degrees that will help them adapt and advance in a challenging business environment.

This document provides a summary of Paul Young's presentation on career management and job outlook for 2018. It discusses careers in high demand, including jobs in healthcare, IT, finance, and skilled trades. It also examines risks to the global and Canadian economies and provides statistics on job vacancies, unemployment, and the types of jobs available at different career levels from entry-level positions to middle management. Concerns are raised about aligning education with available jobs and supporting young Canadians and the middle class.
This document discusses the changing role of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) in leading Canadian companies. It finds that CFOs are increasingly expected to have broader leadership skills and contribute more strategically to company success beyond financial matters. A study examined the backgrounds and qualifications of top Canadian CFOs over the past decade. It found that fewer CFOs now have MBAs while the CPA designation has become more common. CFO tenures are generally longer when they are promoted internally compared to being externally hired. The document provides insights into developing exceptional CFOs based on these findings.
Employer branding is important for attracting top talent. Even Google, which is ranked one of the best places to work, promotes its culture through movies to appeal to potential candidates. A strong employer brand communicates an organization's culture, mission and values to current and prospective employees. Developing an authentic employer brand that highlights differentiating factors is key for recruitment, especially as the job market becomes increasingly competitive for top executive and technical talent.
The US unemployment rate fell slightly to 7.3% in August as the economy added 169,000 jobs, below expectations. While retail and healthcare saw gains, information saw losses. The unemployment rate is down from a year ago but long-term unemployment remains high. Job growth was strongest in retail but overall hiring slowed, signaling a weakening labor market.

In a world where succession planning is increasingly important, it’s good to be the COO — right? The chief operating officer has traditionally been the number two person in the C-suite — the senior executive charged with overseeing all of the company’s business operations. As such, the COO has long been viewed as the heir apparent, the leading insider candidate to succeed the chief executive officer. Yet, according to the senior executive search firm Crist Kolder Associates, the percentage of Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies with a COO has declined steadily from 48 percent in 2000 to 36 percent in 2014.

ForwardThinking is a look ahead at the latest knowledge and insights available from Grant Thornton LLP. It includes a collection of our research, thought leadership and a schedule of upcoming webcasts and events.
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey on corporate innovation conducted by The Boston Consulting Group. Some of the main points from the survey include:
- Innovation remains a priority for most companies, but fewer see it as a top priority compared to previous years due to economic uncertainty.
- Most companies plan to increase innovation spending in 2009 but are growing more cautious given the downturn. Some companies expect to reduce spending.
- Companies are increasingly leveraging rapidly developing economies for R&D and focusing more on innovation that lowers production costs.
- Risk aversion and lengthy development times are seen as the biggest obstacles to high returns on innovation spending. Customer satisfaction and revenue growth are the main metrics used
The document discusses key trends in the economy, hot markets, and professional services marketing based on input from a team of advisors from various specialties. It finds that:
1) Growth markets like China, India, and Brazil are expected to rise significantly and impact all markets by 2020.
2) Six of the top 10 fastest-growing industries relate to healthcare and aging populations, while others involve technology, education, and construction.
3) Three distinct marketing trends were identified: extreme competition due to lower business levels, financing challenges for projects, and mushrooming use of social media.

The document summarizes the key findings of TD Bank's Annual CFO Survey. It reports that CFOs expressed increased optimism about the US economy and confidence in their companies' performance in 2016. Specifically, 56% of CFOs were optimistic about the economy and 61% expected to increase capital expenditures within the next year. However, CFOs also expressed concerns about data security and the outcome of the upcoming US presidential election. The survey indicates that CFOs plan to invest in technology, facilities improvements, data security, hiring, and other areas to support business growth.
Innovation 2010 - A Return to Prominence and the Emergence of a New World Ordernielsleidecker
The survey found that innovation regained its status as a top strategic priority for most companies in 2010. 72% of respondents said it was one of their company's top-three priorities, up from 64% in 2009. Companies also plan to boost innovation spending in 2010, with 61% expecting to raise spending and 26% expecting a significant increase of over 10%. Satisfaction with the return on innovation spending continues to inch higher but remains relatively low, with 55% of respondents reporting satisfaction.
- Housebuilder salaries and bonuses increased in 2015 according to a survey, with managing directors seeing average salary rises of £14,000. However, sustained high pay rises may not be possible long-term.
- Skills shortages and planning issues were identified as the biggest threats to the housing sector by industry directors. Candidates now have more bargaining power due to skills shortages, leading to higher pay.
- The private rented sector is seen as having the most growth potential outside the top ten housebuilders. It provides a stable return compared to the cyclical nature of traditional housebuilding. However, recruiting staff with the needed blend of property management and community skills is challenging due to shortages.

Chinese firms have become more active in mergers and acquisitions since the global financial crisis that began in 2008, as economic distress has thrown up attractive deals around the world. Between 2005 and 2011, the number of China's overseas acquisitions tripled to 177 and jumped five-fold in value to $63 billion.
This paper has come about following a survey of more than 1,600 people across the United States, the United Kingdom and France and extensive discussions with numerous advisors and business leaders from lawyers and accounting consultants with global M&A practices to Chairmen and CEOs such as Li Shifu of Geely.
While the M&A conversion rates do not appear to differ greatly on paper, anecdotal feedback and the results of a survey MSLGROUP conducted among the public in Europe and North America suggest that Chinese companies face much more significant challenges in closing international transactions than those from other territories. Furthermore, Chinese companies pay premium of up to 15 to 20 percent simply because of origin.
Leveraging insights into perception issues China faces in key markets around the world, this report explores the communications issues Chinese companies should address when considering outbound M&A.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of CEOs and C-Suite executives on how their organizations are responding to challenges in the digital age. Some of the main points include:
- Organizations are acknowledging the need for radical change and reinvention to adapt to new technologies and business models.
- Tight labor markets are intensifying concerns about attracting and retaining top talent.
- CEOs see a need for cultures that are innovative, inclusive, and empower employees at all levels through development opportunities.
- The future workforce is expected to rely more on contingent and non-traditional arrangements like freelancers, as well as automation, to remain agile in changing conditions.

The document discusses the importance of employer branding and total immersion of a company's brand within its culture and employees. It argues that skills shortages are a major challenge for employers and are increasing competition for talent. To attract the best employees, companies need to think seriously about how they distinguish themselves through their brand. An effective employer brand must be aligned with the company's broader external brand and reflected internally through its culture. For the brand to be powerful, employees must truly embody the brand in their work and advocacy. This requires collaboration between marketing and HR to immerse the entire organization in living the brand identity.

The race is on
Clearly, Canadian executives are feeling that the race is on; but it remains to be seen whether they act quickly enough and with the right focus to effectively transform and evolve. Among our findings:
75 percent of CEOs agree that the next three years will be more critical to their industry than the previous 50 years;
74 percent of CEOs believe their company will remain largely the same in the next 3 years;
98 percent are concerned about the loyalty of customers;
13 percent feel confident that they are fully prepared for a cyber-event.
Thousands of employers are turning to human resources outsourcing firms and Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) as a way to cut employment costs, reduce HR risks and improve efficiencies. This is according to a new white paper entitled “Preparing for the Rebound: How Human Resources Outsourcing Can Help Business Through Uncertain Economic Times.”
The document discusses the economic outlook for 2024 and beyond, arguing that pursuing productivity gains through upskilling workers, optimizing capital investments, and operating with excellence can lead to either economic stagnation or a new era of abundance. It notes uncertainties around inflation, interest rates, and demographic shifts that may constrain growth. However, it asserts that accelerating productivity across companies similar to the 1990s US can boost overall economic performance and standards of living if business leaders actively pursue the "three-sided productivity opportunity" of changing how their organizations operate, investing in technology and innovation, and offsetting higher costs. The document aims to convince readers that prioritizing productivity is the best path forward for both business success and economic prosperity in 2024
On average, over 50% of projects will fail as businesses are unable to sense and respond to the project risks and challenges for superior implementation causing a massive capital leakage across all industries. The tracking of performance and accountability provides a means for
IT governance process and policy control, with no financial functions capturing the activity-based costing expenditures that account for the millions of dollars wasted on failed projects annually.
Midsize businesses face unique challenges recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic that could impact their long-term success. While many have effectively adapted operations and processes, areas like skills development, technology adoption, and workforce strategies require ongoing focus. Specifically, less than 40% of respondents said they invest in reskilling programs critical for future growth. To stay competitive, midsize companies will need to accelerate digital investments and prioritize employee development while ensuring equitable support for all workers.

BOYDEN EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK FINDS HIRING UP IN MOST
GLOBAL MARKETS
– Top global executive search firm reports cautious return of consumer confidence and growth in
energy/mining and technology boosts talent acquisition –
NEW YORK, June 4, 2010—Following the deep downturn, most aspects of executive hiring are now pointed
upward, albeit with a sharper focus on maintaining optimal productivity, according to the quarterly Boyden
Executive Outlook, released today by Boyden Global Executive Search.
Chief Executive Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, Chief Sustainability Officers and Human Resources
Executives top lists of demand across regions and sectors. The ramping up of sustainability divisions and the
need to shift HR priorities to growth tracks have resulted in need for additional management.
“Nearly every aspect of executive search has returned to full power, with particular strengths in developing
markets including China and Latin America, and extending to Australia,” said Chris Clarke, President and CEO
of Boyden World Corporation. “Due to rigorous mandates of greater productivity, the one aspect that has
changed compared to practices prior to the recession is that while company growth clips at 10 percent
expansion, executive hiring often trails at five percent growth.”
Consumer Products/Retail
"Overall confidence has increased in the consumer sector, particularly in the durables segment where
consumer buying behaviors remain focused on maximum value products and services. That confidence is
translating into hiring decisions,” said Trina Gordon, Chair of Boyden World Corporation and Managing Director
of Boyden Chicago. "The imperative for leadership in the C-suite is on the rebound and we are seeing
increased demand for transformational leaders with P&L responsibility as well as in the functional areas of
marketing/new product development, finance and supply chain management.”
There is also an upswing in demand in the mass market/big box retail segment as companies seek executives
who can deploy sustainable strategies for retaining the new customers gained through the recession, added
Ms. Gordon.
In the second half of 2010, management staffing increases are expected across all organizational functions and
especially for positions focused on e-Commerce and Digital Media, according to Howard Gross, a Managing
Director at Boyden New York.
In Europe, special experience in Operations, Supply-Chain and Risk Management are in increasing demand.
However, overall companies in the EMEA are only cautiously expanding due to the economic uncertainty, while
global retailers are more optimistic and deliberate in hiring decisions at the CEO and CFO levels, according to
Dirk Friederich, a Managing Partner at Boyden Frankfurt-Bad Homburg.
Executive compensation often remains static with companies taking full advantage of a slower economic
recovery, according to Anders Lindholm, Managing Director and Partner at Boyden Italy.
Financial Services
“Financial Services companies are more buoyant and are strategizing for growth,” said Jeanne Branthover,
Leader of Boyden’s Global Financial Services Practice and Managing Director at Boyden New York. “Due to the

major human capital cutbacks these organizations previously had to make, they now need to add management
muscle to fulfill the new mandates.”
Demand has notably returned for talent in sectors such as Corporate Banking, Investment Banking, Banking
Hedge Funds, Wealth Management and Asset Management. In many cases, it’s once again a “candidates
market,” where executives are well compensated and companies are offering retention bonuses, according to
Ms. Branthover.
In Asia-Pacific, most notably China and Hong Kong, management hiring is increasing in financial services,
particularly in Private Banking, Private Equity and Asset Management. Across these sectors, there’s been a
boost in demand for Accounting, Finance/Control, HR executives and Research Directors with Western
experience, according to Brian Renwick, a Board Member of Boyden World Corporation and a Managing
Director of Boyden China.
Industrial/Energy
“The ‘log jam’ of executive hiring on hold in the energy sector has cleared,” said Jim Hertlein, a Board Member
of Boyden World Corporation and Managing Director at Boyden Houston. “We’re seeing an ongoing willingness
of companies to upgrade key management at both the operational and functional levels.”
Most notably, engagements are picking up in energy for CEOs, CFOs and VPs of Business Development with
strong global experience. However, while there has yet to be a noticeable impact on management growth, the
energy sector may be affected later in 2010 by a slowdown due to new regulations resulting from the Gulf of
Mexico oil spill, according to Mr. Hertlein.
In Latin America, all industries and executive acquisition are in growth mode. Brazil is accelerating “multi-latina”
investments throughout the region. In addition, new gas and oil exploration near the Straights of Magellan and
mining and desalination developments in Chile and Peru are adding to the expansion. Thus, companies are
aggressively recruiting senior management along with Project Directors and Project Managers, according to
John Byrne, Managing Director of Boyden Chile.
“Energy is one of the most dynamic sectors right now in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Andreas Landgrebe,
Managing Director at Boyden Vienna and CEE. “With the regulatory environment changing quickly and moving
towards a free market model, these regions are opening and organizations are hiring." CFOs, senior HR
executives and strategic controlling functions are in demand to assist in the restructuring. Another strong area
of growth is the addition of Public Affairs and Communications Managers to help with messaging and building a
modern and coherent company image, added Mr. Landgrebe.
In Asia/Pacific, China’s unquenchable thirst for natural resources continues to drive strong confidence in the
mining and resources sectors. Australian clients are in particular need of stand-out C-level executives in China,
according to Michael Catlow, Executive Director of Boyden Australia.
In the industrial sector, executive hiring in basic steel and raw materials is stronger compared to manufacturing.
The increase in hiring in basic industry signifies that end companies are getting ready to increase product
manufacturing, which could portend to management additions. Salaries have remained steady with no
significant change, according to John Howard, Leader of Boyden’s Global Industrial Practice and Managing
Director at Boyden Pittsburgh.
Board Services
The push for more globalized knowledge on Boards of Directors has further increased, due to Europe's debt
crisis and the potential for a longer-term effect on markets in the U.S. and Asia/Pacific. Understanding that
management is operating in a tumultuous environment is key to providing good counsel. Today's directors must
think globally and be plugged into what is happening in the EU and elsewhere, according to Thomas Flannery,
Leader of Boyden's Board Services Practice in North America and Managing Director of Boyden Pittsburgh.
"Companies without strong global connections on the board should be recruiting directors who do bring
international gravitas," said Sarah Stewart, a Principal at Boyden Pittsburgh and a Board expert.

Technology
“We are experiencing a real boom in the social networking market, with many companies entering the
sector, while others are now expanding or creating new departments to manage new opportunities,” said
Miguel Angel Zuil, Managing Director at Boyden Spain. “Executive hiring in new technology is led with a robust
demand for Directors of Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing and Search Media Optimization.
This includes talent with first-rate knowledge of both analytics and the ability to strengthen companies’ web
presence and internal procedures.”
In the US, there’s optimism due to projections that companies such as LinkedIn, Brocade, Juniper and Blue
Shield will add management talent and staff. Positions in Engineering, Sales, Marketing and IT represent
categories expected for higher levels of expansion, according to Bob Concannon, Managing Director at Boyden
Chicago.
“Technology companies have had a modest uptick in hiring,” said Mr. Concannon. “At the start of year,
companies unlocked hiring freezes and began ‘restocking’ talent. Though, until September, we won’t know if
this first round of hiring will level out or continue.”
In the UK, technology companies remain risk averse and are recruiting “safe” hires from within the sector. The
telecommunications sector is modestly optimistic due to BT’s recent rise in profits, according to Mark Soden, a
Partner at Boyden London.
Life Sciences
“The saying ‘change brings opportunity’ very much applies to healthcare companies as they continue efforts to
reshape their businesses and strategic positioning,” said John Cornille, a Managing Director of Boyden New
York. “Life Sciences companies are taking steps to improve results in this challenging ‘post healthcare reform’
environment.”
Initiatives have included acquisitions that build scale and international expansion, more focused pipelines and
broadened product offerings by entering low-risk markets such as vaccines, over-the-counter drugs and animal
health. Increased recruiting for Life Sciences positions includes CEOs, Presidents and functional leaders in
Business Development and Mergers & Acquisitions units, according to Mr. Cornille.
Interim Management
In Europe, growth of the retention of interim executives has resulted in a notable uptick in the interim
management sector, which is an area that Boyden pioneered. The skills of an interim executive are in high
demand for companies that need specialists to manage rapid change or project completion, according to
John Ellis, Managing Partner at Boyden London.
