Recruiting Tomorrow's Board - Why Boards struggle with it and solutions to get it right
Ensuring that the board has the right composition to meet the future needs of the organization necessitates a deliberate, sophisticated and 360-degree approach to board renewal. Organizations today operate in a world of rapid technological, political and social change and wide-ranging internal, external and global risks. Whether private, public or not-for-profit, boards must be creative in their approach to the director nomination process.
Expectations for boards of directors are higher than ever. And the skills, experiences and attributes which the board needs to collectively possess to meet those expectations are more diverse. Engaging the right team of talented individuals to help steward an organization through today’s challenges is difficult enough, but what about the challenges of tomorrow? Our expert panel will discuss how to invigorate the recruitment process.
