CAPITAL REGION – To paraphrase an old saying, this isn’t your father’s economy.
To survive and thrive in today’s business climate, leaders and entrepreneurs alike need to deftly navigate through a seeming minefield of challenges — from high inflation and lingering supply-chain problems to rapidly rising interest rates and a tight labor market.
And the obstacles don’t end there.
Today’s leaders face a whole new world of material forces that can affect company performance — things such as a “quiet quitting” phenomenon, climate change concerns and a progressively aging workforce, especially in areas like upstate New York.
But despite these and other emerging challenges, some executives choose to focus on the opportunities that abound in the new business world order. Read about them below, in Outlook 2023.
