Help your board understand the implications of digital and technology so they can provide valuable oversight and guidance.
Building up the board’s digital aptitude isn’t about turning directors into proficient technologists. Rather, the goal is for the board to understand the implications of technology and digital on the business and sources of revenue. When thoughtfully applied, technology can enable a huge leap over standard approaches in terms of delivery speeds, costs, and quality – often by a factor of 10. This allows companies to test new markets, products, and business models at much greater speeds, and at lower costs.

Board members are expected to act in the company’s best interests and align the interests of shareholders and managers.

It is also clear that we need better governance at all levels. The latter calls for increasing board effectiveness.
