What questions should you be asking of your executive and IT team when it comes to compliance software? How can you measure ROI? The Directors Guide to Compliance Software will feature a handy checklist which you can use in your next board meeting, and a mini-directory of compliance software vendors.
Directors & Boards' Jim Kristie
is quoted in an article in the Des Moines Register on splitting the roles of CEO and Chairman.
Gary Sutton, a longtime CEO,
board member, and specialist in turning around troubled companies, has been named a regular columnist for Directors & Boards, the lead journal in corporate governance now celebrating its 28th year of publication.
Sutton, 61, has headed a number of public and private companies in his career as an expert in business startups and rescues. He ran aerospace manufacturing, retail advertising, online data storage, printing, software, and satellite communications businesses, as well as a college and a waste management operation. He is the author of The Six-Month Fix: Adventures in Rescuing Failing Companies, published in 2002 by John Wiley & Sons. Plaudits that greeted his book included "powerful," "hard-hitting, practical thrusts," and "uncommon, in-your-face thinking." Sutton's inaugural column will appear in the Summer issue, to be published in mid-July. Promising a continuation of the candid counsel offered in his feature article, his topic will be "The Danger of Overqualified Directors." Sutton replaces Dr. Thomas Horton, one of the country's preeminent experts in corporate governance, who died last year. Horton served for much of his career as chairman and CEO of the American Management Association and had been a columnist for Directors & Boards since 1998. D&B Author Takes On Iraq:

As the top civilian administrator, he is overseeing the country's reconstruction efforts.
