Directors on the board must be more vigilant and take informed decisions as the business environment becomes more complex and unstable. It also requires more coordinated efforts by all employees to ensure company success.

A well-formed board must include members with a variety of skills and perspectives who are willing to challenge the board’s beliefs and opinions. This will promote more complete discussions and enhance the board’s overall effectiveness.

As the board’s responsibilities change it is crucial to be ready to handle the latest technology and issues like diversity and climate disclosures that could impact a company’s bottom line. It is also essential to create an environment that promotes and encourages continuous education and penalizes insanity.

The board should establish the strategic goals and objectives for the near and long-term and establish mechanisms to track progress towards those goals. The board oversees the chief executives and sets the guidelines and policies that govern the company’s operations.

The board is accountable for determining which risks are acceptable and how to manage them while safeguarding shareholder interests. The board should conduct risk assessments, formulate guidelines for their own actions and the management’s actions and establish accountability systems in order to perform its stewardship responsibilities.
