The new board agenda
New research among board directors reveals how they are embracing an evolution in their role and responsibilities.
The report, based on the findings of a global survey of more than 600 Financial Times readers who currently sit on boards, as well as interviews with leading experts, finds that board members must be able to detect risk and opportunity like never before.
It discovers that the role of the board director is undergoing profound change. Individual and collective expectations are rising. The way that directors are recruited, trained and developed is being reshaped. And the composition of the board and the breadth of its expertise is under intense scrutiny.
The board agenda has always been packed. Now it comes with added complexity.
