SplitX Contributes to the Q4 2025 Business Barometer
In Q4 2025, SplitX took part in the Business Barometer, a global, quarterly initiative led by the Alliance of CEOs to track real-world sentiment, priorities, and decision-making among senior business leaders.
This edition gathered insights from 266 CEOs and executives, spanning a broad range of industries across the U.S. and 16 countries. The goal is simple but ambitious: cut through noise and forecasts, and capture how leaders are actually thinking and acting in real time.
What stood out in Q4 2025
The results show a clear shift as leaders closed out a turbulent year:
- Confidence rebounded toward the end of 2025, despite ongoing geopolitical and economic headwinds.
- CEOs reported growing comfort operating within a “new normal,” moving from reaction to forward-looking execution.
- AI has crossed a critical threshold – from experimentation to execution. Leaders now see AI as essential to long-term competitiveness and are prioritizing speed and adaptability over waiting for perfect certainty.
Why this matters for SplitX
SplitX exists at the intersection of technology, leadership, and human-centered progress. Participating in the Business Barometer aligns directly with our mission: staying close to how global leaders think, decide, and act, and using those insights to inform conversations, events, and initiatives across the SplitX ecosystem.

We look forward to continuing this collaboration and contributing to future editions as the Business Barometer tracks how leadership priorities evolve through 2026 and beyond.
