Strategy Execution: Insights from NACD’s Blue Ribbon Commission &  D100 Celebration

In an increasingly complex and fast-moving business environment, boards face a growing challenge: how can they effectively oversee whether strategy is being translated into results?

NACD’s latest Blue Ribbon Commission Report on Strategy Execution examines how boards can strengthen their oversight of strategy execution amid interconnected risks, shifting market conditions, technological disruption, and other variables that can quickly affect an organization’s strategic priorities and long-term value.

Join Jay Miller, a commissioner for the Blue Ribbon Commission report, and Greg Cessna, 2024 NACD Private Company Director of the Year, for a timely conversation exploring the report’s key findings and practical guidance for directors. The discussion will examine how boards can maintain the integrity of corporate strategy while helping management navigate the real-world challenges that can disrupt execution.

Celebrating Excellence in Board Leadership
Following the discussion, stay for a special cocktail reception honoring our current and former NACD Directorship 100™ honorees. Each year, the NACD Directorship 100 Awards recognize more than 100 directors and governance leaders whose judgment, integrity, leadership, and oversight help set the standard for excellence in the boardroom.

Join us as we recognize members of our governance community who have earned this distinguished honor and celebrate their contributions to stronger boards and long-term value creation.

Participants will:

• Explore the key findings and recommendations from NACD’s Blue Ribbon Commission Report on Strategy Execution.
• Identify ways boards can strengthen oversight of strategy execution without crossing the line into management.
• Examine how boards can assess whether changing risks, assumptions, and external conditions require strategic adjustments.
• Consider the questions, information, and indicators directors can use to better evaluate execution and long-term value creation.
