FAQ

Who should read this report?
This report is built for decision-makers — business leaders, policymakers, investors, and impact organisations who need a clear view of how prepared today’s executives are for disruption. If you influence growth, transformation, or strategy, these insights are written for you.
How was the research conducted?
We surveyed 1,050 executives across five countries — Türkiye, the UK, Ukraine, Romania and Poland. The findings are distilled into our Reinvention Readiness Index, combining leadership, foresight, agility, and culture. It’s not desk research — it’s what leaders themselves told us.
What makes this research unique?
It’s one of the first cross-country studies to compare perception vs. reality of leadership readiness at scale. Instead of generic commentary, it reveals gaps between confidence and capability, and shows which personas and markets are truly future-ready.
What will I gain from reading it?
You’ll uncover surprising blind spots (like where leaders feel prepared but score lowest), see which markets defy expectations, and learn which cultural factors boost readiness by 30 points or more. It’s actionable intelligence you can benchmark against your own organisation or market.
How is it different from other leadership reports?
Most reports talk about trends. This one is original research, grounded in hard data from 1,050 executives. It compares countries, sectors, and personas — CEOs, functional leaders, policymakers, innovators — and gives you an evidence-based framework for action.
How can I use these insights in practice?
Policymakers can align strategies to close national gaps. Businesses can pinpoint where their leaders or culture may be holding them back. Investors can identify the markets and organisations best prepared for change. It’s not theory — it’s a roadmap you can apply today.
