"Traditional economic indications, such as interest and unemployment rates, are sending conflicting signals about the state and future of the global economy."
"In this issue of the HBR Executive Agenda, HBR editor at large Adi Ignatius asked CEOs from HBR Executive's Advisory Council to share which metrics they follow to stay ahead of the competition."
Traditional economic indicators such as interest rates and unemployment are sending conflicting signals about the current state and outlook of the global economy. Many CEOs therefore track a wider range of metrics beyond headline macro data, including real-time customer demand, order backlogs, cash flow and liquidity, pricing power, supply chain health, hiring and talent mobility, and sector-specific volumes. Monitoring these operational and leading indicators helps translate noisy macro signals into actionable decisions on pricing, investment, inventory, and workforce planning. Firms that adapt measurement frameworks quickly can identify inflection points earlier and sustain competitive advantage amid economic uncertainty.
