Chaos is the new normal in today’s business environment.

Forward-thinking leaders are finding new ways to engage their work.

Old playbooks and processes will no longer cut it for directors, investors, and members of the C-suite that are working to weather the storm of rapid change.

Drawing on research, surveys, and modern examples, we look at the paradigm shift in how corporate leaders are engaging with their work and what it means for your top of house leadership.

This guide covers:

  • The New Normal — Many directors spend 50 days per year or more on board work. If boards aren’t effectively engaging key issues of strategy and risk, their companies are at risk & at a competitive disadvantage.

  • Moving Beyond Old Playbooks & Tools — NACD’s most recent survey tells us that “53% of directors indicate that the quality of management reporting to the board must improve, suggesting that boards need better — not more — information from management.” It is time to move beyond episodic engagement, static resources, manual processes, lack of visibility, and resistance to change.

  • Agile Engagement — Agility has become the key to engaging today’s challenges head on, turning potential crises into opportunities for competitive advantage. Boards are finding new, creative ways to engage their work that appropriately reflect the dynamic nature of their business environment. They’re prepared in advance when the crisis hits, rather than being caught flat-footed.

  • Access, Process, Outcomes: Smart software can transform the way boards access information, manage their processes, and track outcomes. We look at these three key areas and how they make a massive difference for top of house leadership.
