Unprecedented events such as the 2008 financial collapse, the ongoing pandemic, ESG and technology challenges have underscored that good leadership matters when societies are in crisis. To future proof the organizations they are entrusted to govern, boards need to increasingly look beyond the traditional skills matrix.

  • How can the board play a leading role in positively impacting a corporation’s future performance?
