A total of 2,135 executives participated, with notable regional breakdowns.

Among regions, Indian executives lead with 51% affirming this balance, followed by North Americans at 49%, Chinese at 37%, and Europeans at 44%.
The slide further elaborates on various strategic components, highlighting that only 14% of executives reported their strategies were based on novel insights unavailable to competitors.
