DALLAS, April 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YPO<\/a>, the premier chief executive leadership organization in the world, announced today the results of the March 2018 YPO Global Pulse Survey, revealing that chief executives across the world are focused on core business technologies, such as cloud computing, business intelligence (BI) and cybersecurity, whilst adoption and investment of emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency are likely to be sector-driven.<\/p>\n Disruptive Technologies Attracting CEO Attention and Likely Investment Globally:<\/strong><\/p>\n “What I’m hearing from YPO global business leaders right now is that digital transformation remains at the very top of their priorities in 2018. Several disruptive technologies are expected to garner widespread attention and investment this year, such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, business intelligence and mobile payment applications,\u201d said Scott Mordell, CEO of YPO. \u201cYPO members are embracing technology to address regulatory requirements, harness business data for improved efficiency and increased financial performance, and to match consumer demand for new and innovative ways to interact with their businesses.”<\/p>\n Despite Expected Disruption, CEOs Less Likely to Invest in These Technologies in the Next Year:<\/strong><\/p>\n Disruptive Technology Investment Driven by Specific Industry Sectors<\/strong><\/p>\n The levels of familiarity and interest in many disruptive technologies are determined by industry.\u00a0 For instance, although there has been much media attention and discussion around blockchain and cryptocurrency, most CEOs do not see either of those technologies as particularly likely to impact their businesses, and are not likely to invest in those technologies. However, blockchain has gained the attention and investment of CEOs in the financial services sector.<\/p>\n \u201cThe findings of the YPO Global Pulse reveal that the short-term business impact and investment strategy associated with a particular technology is largely dependent on the specific industry in which you operate,\u201d noted Scott Mordell, CEO of YPO. \u201cIt will be fascinating to see how priorities and focus change over the next year as disruptive technologies such as AI and virtual reality become more mainstream.\u201d<\/p>\n YPO Global Pulse\u00ae<\/sup> Survey<\/strong><\/p>\n The YPO Global Pulse provides insight into the perspectives of chief executives around the world on topics that influence businesses, leadership and impact.
