Business Sentiment On The Rise Business sentiment is rising - as signalled by the results of a new survey undertaken by Enterprise Ireland and Deloitte as part of the CEO Forum which was held in Dublin Castle on November 26th, the theme of which was “Internationalisation”. The survey looked at the views of CEOs from leading Irish businesses in relation to internationalisation opportunities and challenges, the economic outlook for 2015 and the adequacy of Irish education programmes in disciplines such as IT, Maths and Science to meet the growing economic demand. Respondents were asked what they believe are the main challenges businesses face in maximising their international potential and unsurprisingly access to working capital was the concern for 35%. However, people issues are the dominant overall concern for 53% of CEOs, with 12% identifying staff mobility, 20% availability of graduates within Ireland, and a further 21% stressing the difficulty of sourcing suitable qualified and skilled local employees abroad. 20% felt that this was especially applicable in the areas of IT, Science, Engineering and Maths.
