Board of Directors

Development network

The requirements of the individual board member today have shifted vastly. The world is changing at a pace we have not experienced previously, and the longevity of businesses is at an all time low. Emerging competitors, digitalization, and consumer personalization plays a vital role in the struggles facing businesses today, emphasizing the need for board members’ capabilities to support and advice management in order to secure the success of the business.

Presidents Institute has launched a facilitated Development Network which will target the challenges facing modern day board members – both on a collective and an individual level. All group members are active board members today, and together you will gain new knowledge on trends and tendencies which surely will affect the businesses you govern. Through case work the group will cooperate in order to allow for the subject at hand to be more easily incorporated into your everyday work on the board.

The speakers

– Corporate Governance –
In our day and age, good corporate governance in so much more than a responsible bottom line. The most reason recommendations from the committee of good corporate governance emphasizes a dedicated focus on the business strategy regarding both sustainability and purpose.

– The Sustainable Board –
We have reached the point, where no one can deny the necessity for business to develop clear sustainability and CSR goals that align with the overall business model. But there are many dilemmas and challenges that both the governing and executive branch will have to face along the way.

- The Strategy of Data –
Data has become an integral part of all businesses. However, only 5% of Danish businesses have members with data competencies on their board. Modern Governing Boards have to work strategically with data and understand the dilemmas that it will inevitably pose.

– Diversity and Leadership –
According to several reports published by Harvard Business School, diversity in the managing and governing entities of a business drives results, innovation, and growth. However, Danish businesses still fall far behind our comparable neighbors on this parameter, making it vital area of focus for both board and business.

– Collaboration with Management –
The work of the governing board also includes aspects of traditional leadership. This becomes evident when maintaining the close relationship between both owner, chairman, and management, which is essential to the work of the board and the success of the business.
