The results from Protiviti’s Executive Perspectives on Top Risks in 2021 and 2030 Survey captured significant uncertainties by industry, executive position, company size and type, and geographic area. The survey was conducted online near the end of 2020 to capture perspectives on executives’ minds regarding the risks over the short term — 2021 — as well as over the long term, with a 10-year horizon to 2030.

This issue of Board Perspectives summarizes seven key takeaways from the survey and ranks the highest-rated risk themes in order of priority.
