Nearly two-thirds of U.S. public company board members want better intelligence, saying they could be more impactful in their oversight if they could proactively anticipate disruption, according to Corporate Board Member’s 21st annual What Directors Think study, conducted in partnership this year with Diligent and BDO USA.
The report, What Directors Think 2024: Governing in the Age of Disruption, details findings from a survey of 250 U.S public company directors on what is top of mind for America’s boardrooms, highlighting the substantial challenges and opportunities that corporate directors face in their boardrooms.
Join this interactive discussion to explore how boards are rethinking their composition, structure, resources and processes to more effectively oversee opportunities and risks in an increasingly complex environment.
Be part of the dialogue on February 22, 2:00 at 2:50 pm ET to gain tangible ideas to help contribute more strategically in your boardroom discussions in 2024.
