SDA Bocconi
IRG CEO Monitor

IRG has joined with SDA Bocconi Business School to create the IRG CEO Monitor - the new global platform for advancing how global CEOs identify, influence and capture full market value and inform policy discourse.

The Value Gap

90% of corporate value today is intangible.

Yet most analytical tools, communication frameworks, and measurement systems remain anchored to the tangible 10%.

At the same time, many CEOs continue to operate with an execution-focused mindset, with limited visibility into the drivers of intangible value and a marginal role in shaping the broader competitiveness agenda.

External understanding of these dynamics remains fragmented—across investors, media, and institutions—or absent altogether.

The CEO’s ability to navigate non-market environments — governments, regulators, media, and industry coalitions — is increasingly decisive for growth and market valuation.

“The IRG — Influence, Relevance & Growth CEOs CEO Monitor — exists to close the value gap: expanding CEOs’ role from execution to influence, and transforming how markets, institutions, and society understand and value what truly drives corporate growth.”

Stefano Caselli

Dean of SDA Bocconi School of Management

Mission

The IRG CEO Monitor integrates leadership, research, and real-world context — creating a structured environment where CEOs can discuss and practically address the questions that matter most at the intersection of business, institutions, and public discourse, such as:

  • Are CEOs aligned and fit to manage a business where markets and technology have outpaced policymakers?

  • How should companies inform the political and institutional sphere while staying out of politics?

  • How can companies frame, implement, and credibly measure their contribution to socio-economic development?

  • How do cross-sector coalitions transform narrow industry interests into broadly accepted priorities?

  • When does CEO thought leadership constitute credible expertise — and how does it shape stakeholder trust and policy impact?

Activities

Drawing on SDA Bocconi’s research,  analytical tools, and media and think thanks partners, IRG provides a structured environment where real-world leadership and analytical insight converge to create simple pathways to tangible action.

Recognizing
Locked Value

Identifying the intangible and unpriced sources of value that remain invisible to traditional metrics but materially shape corporate performance and market perception.

Interpreting Systemic Complexity

Decoding the non-market environment—across institutions, regulation, media, and industry dynamics—to understand how systemic forces influence value creation.

Shaping Policy Discourse

Supporting CEOs in actively contributing to policy and public discourse, moving from transactional interactions to a more strategic and collaborative role in shaping the external environment.

The IRG CEO Lab is where research, leadership, media, and markets come together to help companies close the gap between the value they create and the value the world recognizes.
