Alliance Roundtable: CEO Signals for 2026 from the Q4 Business Barometer
Date: Thursday, February 26, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM PST
Location: ZOOM

As we begin 2026, leaders are taking stock of the past year and reassessing how to navigate what comes next. The Q4 2025 Business Barometer suggests CEO confidence is improving and priorities are becoming more focused. Across survey responses, we see a broader move from reactive decision-making toward execution, with leaders emphasizing speed, adaptability, and competitive advantage rather than waiting for perfect clarity.

Join us for this 90-minute Alliance Roundtable as Jim Cook, BenchBoard Executive Coaching and Advisory Founder, and Paul Witkay, Alliance Founder & CEO, share what the data signals. Drawing directly from the Q4 2025 Business Barometer results, they will explore how CEOs are assessing risk, responding to economic factors and acting on AI as it moves from experimentation to execution in 2026. The discussion will include:

• What’s driving the rebound in CEO confidence, how sentiment shifted from Q2 to Q4 2025, and what it signals for 2026
• Perspectives on economic unpredictability and the durability of the emerging “new normal”
• How leaders are responding to supply chain shifts, capital constraints, and M&A opportunities
• Where AI adoption is creating real advantage, and where expectations may be outpacing results

Participants will have the opportunity to interact and compare notes with fellow CEOs, pressure-test interpretations of the data, and share what’s working inside their organizations. We will also gather participant input on the issues and questions that matter most as we prepare to launch the Q12026 Business Barometer in early March.
