Orchestrating Winning Performance

Governance successes and failures around the world

Governance successes and failures around the world

With Professor Didier Cossin

Boards are failing companies around the world. From the financial crisis to major disasters such as the BP Macondo field explosion or the Tepco nuclear disaster in Japan, boards are under stress. At the same time, the rise of economic, social and business complexity makes effective boards even more of a competitive advantage for well-tuned, well-managed companies, than was the case in the past. Today's CEO needs sparring partners to emulate the challenges he/she is confronting. And who else can do this but a strong, well-informed, well-connected board? We will look at examples of successes and failures around the world and analyze what makes some boards a liability while others become a true competitive asset.
