C-SUITE EXECS SAY 'INNOVATE, LEAD AND ATTRACT' KEY FOR BUSINESS GROWTH: As rapid technological advancements and an uncertain economy shape the business landscape, America’s top executives continue to have a high level of confidence that their organizations can compete. However, America’s top executives also report doubts on how to transform their business effectively for future success.

The Deloitte business confidence report 2016 identified three core areas at the crossroads of transformation and confidence: innovation and its relationship with technology; the increasing pressure to find, develop, and keep the right talent; and the need for bold leadership.

FAILURE TO ACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS FAMILIES $3,400 A YEAR: A new report by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimates that continued underinvestment in infrastructure will cost each U.S. family $3,400 a year over the next decade. The analysis shows that in the years since the earlier reports, various state actions along with some federal funding measures have helped stabilize the infrastructure gap, but the overall picture remains – underinvestment is negatively affecting the nation’s economy.

The most significant gap, according to the report, is in the transportation sector, where an estimated additional $1 trillion is needed across the network (including roads, bridges, and rail) during the next decade. For businesses, this can mean increased production costs, increased cost of travel, and decreased consumer spending.
