Dear Investors,
Public company boards play a critical role—one that requires experience and savvy. Yet for a long time, some investors and other critics have argued that boards value collegiality, consensus and the status quo over innovation and fresh thinking. Today, we see increasing evidence that boardrooms are shifting to embrace a change agenda.
PwC’s Annual Corporate Directors Survey yielded some fascinating results this year by showing how the boardroom is evolving. From culture oversight to cybersecurity to social issues, and more, directors are stepping up and embracing change. They are listening more, learning more, contributing more and are more engaged. What’s happening outside the boardroom is impacting who is sitting in the boardroom, and what’s on their agenda. Check out our report, including practical tips on how boards can rise to the occasion.
