Today’s boards are operating in an environment of unprecedented complexity. Disruption driven by artificial intelligence, supply chain volatility, geopolitical tensions, regulatory shifts, and workforce transformation is reshaping how boards must organize, prioritize, and govern.
In this interactive panel discussion, experienced board and executive leaders will share how they are re-examining board structure, composition, and capabilities to remain effective—both today and into the future. The session will focus not on external trends alone, but on how boards are looking inward to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Participants will:
- Examine how effective boards are adapting structure and committee focus to address emerging external risks
- Reassess traditional board skills matrices to identify capability gaps and future needs
- Explore practical approaches to managing multiple, simultaneous disruptions at the board level
Key Topics
- The evolution of board and committee structures to ensure appropriate oversight of emerging risks
- Refreshing the board skills matrix to align with strategic priorities and future demands
- Board-level approaches to navigating and integrating multiple dimensions of change
- Balancing near-term risk oversight with long-term strategic focus
We would like to thank Green Plains for hosting this event for our members!
