Consumer sentiment has always played a role in shaping business decisions, but in today’s environment, it is becoming a more visible and immediate influence. Confidence signals – whether from customers, investors or employees – are increasingly informing how organisations prioritise, invest and respond to change.

While not every fluctuation calls for a course correction, leaders are under growing pressure to interpret sentiment wisely, knowing when to respond and when to hold firm.

Is your leadership team responding to noise or equipped with the capability to read the signals that matter?

Key themes we will explore:

• Decoding Confidence as a Strategic Indicator: How are sentiment signals across consumers, investors and employees influencing capital allocation, growth strategies and risk appetite? As a CEO, where are you leaning in, and where are you changing course?
• Executive Decision-Making Under Pressure: In times of ambiguity, how are leaders maintaining narrative control, focus and alignment within their teams? What are the risks of overreacting or underreacting to perception shifts, particularly as AI accelerates the pace of feedback, analysis and decision-making?
• Strengthening the Leadership Bench for What’s Next: What leadership behaviours are proving most effective in a confidence-sensitive environment? How are organisations investing in adaptability, succession and future readiness?

This confidential Roundtable will be held under Chatham House Rules, enabling an open and candid discussion among peers. There are no formal presentations, just meaningful, forward-focused conversation shaped by those in the room.

Places are limited, so please register now to confirm your seat.
