Webinar: Post-pandemic leadership: building effective boards through technology

The ability of corporate leaders to navigate change has never been more crucial. Whether a company adapts to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead will depend largely on the effectiveness of its board.

While the pandemic has had a profound effect on business strategy and the workplace, it has also had an impact on board activities—not least the need for virtual board meetings, including online interviewing of new board members.

Digitalisation and the application of technology by boards played a crucial role during the lockdown, enabling leadership teams and governance professionals to operate seamlessly.

During the last year, research shows that board priorities have also shifted, with issues such as the remote management of employees, organisational resilience and the adoption of new technology requiring many directors to review their capabilities and practices.
This webinar focuses on the effect digitalisation has on board effectiveness, on the key role it has played in enabling virtual boards to function, and the part it will play in supporting leadership teams as they navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead, as economies and society emerge from Covid-19.

Panel guests will discuss:

• How technology is driving a new era of board communication.
• The necessity of board scrutiny and transparency, and the function of digital audit trails.
• The critical role of information access; how to ensure intelligence on the right issues is shared among board members,
• The impact of technology on board oversight of regulation, risk, and compliance.
• How digital has eased the governance and administrative burden of board committees.
• The elevation of non-financial; the effect of technology on board oversight of corporate culture, sustainability, investor relations and reputation management.
• How technology can drive more effective external and self-evaluation board reviews.
