Governing in the Digital Age
Join Dottie Schindlinger, VP of Thought Leadership, Diligent Corporation (and Co-author, Governance in the Digital Age.), and David Shaw, Editor & Publishing Director, Directors & Boards as they navigate the complex landscape of governing in the digital age.
Governing in the Digital Age
There has never been a time when serving on a board has been more challenging than right now. Board oversight is loaded with more risk than ever before – from operating in an unpredictable climate to the increased regulatory ramifications of data breaches, and much more.
In this complex landscape, the questions become:
- What might actually help directors govern better?
- For the organizations with the best performance results, what is different about the way their boards function?
- To what extent are the norms and practices of governance beginning to transform to ensure the deliberative process can keep pace with the speed of business?
- Perhaps most importantly, what approaches, tools and technology might help directors and boards transform governance for the digital age?
There’s a lot at stake – the boards that continue to find ways to leverage the speed of information and technology to inform careful deliberation could quickly outpace their peers. This session will provide an overview of these issues and provide attendees with specific action steps they can take to help their boards better navigate the digital age.
The research that provides the basis for this webinar is featured in the new book, Governance in the Digital Age, by Brian Stafford, CEO, and Dottie Schindlinger, VP of Thought Leadership, Diligent Corporation, ©April 2, 2019, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The book is available for purchase in hardcover and e-book at Wiley, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and wherever books are sold.
