HOW TO USE THIS TOOL: The future of board leadership will impact not only lead directors but also committees. Directors should consider the potential future state of board committees, which calls for an updated mandate. Below are potential new focus areas for the three standing committees.

  • A stronger grasp of how tech innovation and digital disruption are informing risk management and the internal control environment
