According to the survey the top five top priorities for technology companies in Europe and the Middle East are:
- Looking for growth in emerging markets - 36%
- Improving cash and working capital management - 33%
- Innovation through product development - 32%
- Exploiting growth opportunities through successful transactions - 31%
- Managing and retaining the right people within the organisation - 30%
The importance of people to their organization was named as a top priority for the first time by tech executives; the overwhelming majority (83 percent) of them also said that businesses must be able to demonstrate robust succession planning around key posts and key talent.
