Recession Preparedness Gap and Strategic Planning Deficiency
Definition
Only 37% of US CEOs report being prepared for a recession, indicating a critical gap in strategic planning and contingency preparation among leadership teams. With 72% of CEOs believing a recession will occur within 12-18 months, this unpreparedness creates urgency for executive advisory services, strategic planning consultation, and financial modeling. The lack of preparedness translates to reactive rather than proactive decision-making, resulting in slower response times during economic downturns, missed hedging opportunities, and inefficient capital allocation. CFOs specifically lack adequate frameworks for scenario planning and cash flow forecasting in recessionary conditions.
