Whether you're looking to strengthen your board, learn about trends in board talent, or position yourself for board service, this session with Kimberly Bishop, Co-CEO of Kinetic Leaders, will provide valuable perspectives on best practices, qualifications boards prioritize, and the evolving landscape of board leadership.
Together, we’ll explore how to rethink the ideal director, navigate the evolving boardroom landscape, and understand the board’s expanding role in overseeing disruptive technologies. We’ll also examine how economic uncertainty, global instability, and a company’s strategic direction and values are increasingly shaping board placements.
