Director Sentiment Survey 2014

Directors are optimistic about the future, but red tape is an impediment to business and economic performance. Directors would like to see government focus on reducing red tape. Directors want to focus on developing the skills and capability of their own people – the key risk facing business.

This report is an overview of the results and preliminary analysis of detailed text responses. The responses to open text questions add significant colour and detail to the issues that businesses, directors and the economy are facing. We intend to conduct further analysis in 2015.
