Playbook: Shaping the board of the future

In a world where the rate of change is accelerating, investors are asking sharper questions about board effectiveness, risk oversight and whether directors have the right skills for the future.

IR professionals need to know how governance teams are thinking about these issues, where boards may need more support and what investors may expect next. Our new playbook, produced in association with Governance Intelligence and Nasdaq, explores what the board of the future needs to look like.

Based on exclusive survey data from governance professionals, plus direct insight from general counsel and company secretaries, the playbook looks at the skills, training and succession planning companies are prioritising.

Read this playbook to learn:

  • The key skills that boards will need to be armed with to tackle the challenges of the future
  • Why AI and cybersecurity are becoming critical areas of board expertise
  • How companies of different sizes approach succession planning
  • What this means for conversations with investors, management and the board

This playbook includes exclusive data on how boards are being set up for success, unique insights in how governance professionals can stay ahead of the fast rate of change and case studies of how leading companies are managing the challenges involved.
