Future CEO Survey 2027: Share Your Views on the Future of Leadership in Scotland

We’re excited to launch our 2027 Future CEO Survey in association with EY.

Leadership is evolving at pace. From the impact of AI and workforce transformation to changing expectations of executive teams, organisations are navigating a very different landscape than they were just a few years ago.

Over the years, our Future CEO Survey has become a valuable benchmark for understanding how leadership is changing across Scotland. By gathering insights from leaders across sectors and functions, we aim to uncover the skills, experiences and priorities that will shape tomorrow’s CEOs.

This year’s research will explore some of the most important questions facing organisations today:

📈 Succession Planning: Are organisations genuinely developing their next generation of leaders?

🤖 AI and ROI: Are businesses beginning to see measurable returns on AI investment?

🌍 The Global Context: How do Scottish leaders’ perspectives compare with international CEO research?

💼 The Evolving Executive Team: Are new leadership roles emerging as organisations adapt to AI and workforce transformation?

We’re keen to hear from leaders across Scotland, including Executive and Non-Executive Directors, senior functional leaders, business owners and public sector leaders. Whatever your sector, organisation size or area of expertise, we’d value your perspective.

The survey takes just five minutes to complete, and all responses are confidential and anonymous.
