The 2017 Executive Outlook: Pedal to the Metal

Firms looks to keep up the momentum while the going—and growing—is good!

The results of our annual executive outlook are in—and the numbers are promising, to say the least. Onward and upward would seem to be the mantra this year as both the results of this year’s Executive Outlook survey and exclusive interviews with firm leaders would indicate. Continued positive economic momentum combined with the election of what most expect will be a very pro-business administration leads to a rosy forecast among consulting executives. Sprinkle in enough upheaval to key industries such as healthcare and financial services, along with what appears to be bipartisan support for increased infrastructure spending, and the result is a real “Pedal to the Metal” mentality.
