Every year since 2002, Corporate Board Member has been surveying public company board members in the United States to take their pulse on the issues that are top of mind, the challenges they face in the year to come and the processes they seek to improve.
We are in an era of seismic change, but if you ask public company board members across the country, you’ll find them holding steady at the wheel, with a stronger-than-ever focus on growth, strategy and performance. For the 20th anniversary of the What Directors Think survey, we take a look into what’s top of mind for America’s corporate directors as we enter 2023—and how directors’ focus and the role of boards have changed in the past 20 years.
At the 18th Annual Boardroom Summit we sat down with directors and asked them to share their perspectives on some of the questions asked in the 20th anniversary edition of What Directors Think.
