Key Takeaways

  • There are gaps between how boards discuss risk and the information boards need for visibility into organizational resilience.
  • Directors want more effective risk reporting that surfaces forward-looking insights on emerging trends.
  • Effective risk oversight should help boards identify emerging trends and assess their potential impact before disruption occurs.
