Background

An effective Board is at the heart of the governance structure of an active and well-governed organization. The Board guides long-term corporate strategy, putting necessary measures in place to ensure and monitor performance against organization’s strategic plans. As organization grows in size and complexity, and are increasingly doing business in the global space, it is imperative that corporate boards not only uphold the highest standards of corporate governance, but also drive innovation and business transformation, in a manner that will ensure longevity and sustainability.

The best boards are composed of innovative individuals with different skills, knowledge, information, power, and time to contribute. Given the diversity of expertise, skill sets and timely information required to understand today’s complex businesses, Boards must be knowledgeable and informed, as well as available at all times, to influence all decisions. Thus, in composing most boards, it is best to think of individuals contributing different pieces to the total picture that it takes to create an effective, innovative and forward-looking board.

In view of this, it has become imperative for the Boards to be adequately diversified and equipped with requisite skills, knowledge and expertise to bring innovative ideas to meet the current and long-term needs of the organisation, shareholders and all stakeholders. This would result in improved productivity, reduced costs, increased competitiveness, improved brand recognition and value, new partnerships and relationships, increased turnover and improved profitability.
