Investigating the Future CEO Report – Coming Soon

“Public sector organisations in Scotland have been significantly faster than private companies to put an artificial intelligence strategy in place, new research reveals.”

Ahead of the public launch of our latest Future CEO survey on Monday, The Herald has shared a sneak peak of some of our key findings. You can read the full article in the Herald here: Scotland’s public sector ahead of private firms on AI.

Livingston James’ Future CEO research survey, created in association with EY, investigates what CEOs truly need in order to navigate the next decade. This year, we surveyed over 200 leaders in Scotland, placing particular focus on AI readiness at board level, exploring how CEOs and Directors are thinking about governance, capability, risk and long-term competitive advantage in an AI-enabled world.

Initial findings show that while 71% of organisations in Scotland are regularly discussing AI at board level, only 36% actually have a strategy in place.

If you would like an early copy of the report before public release, please contact Alistair Shaw: [email protected].
