Governance Perspectives: Addressing Today and Tomorrow

The Lens for Today and the Future

Our governance and board work across the globe keeps us and our client directors busy on two levels, as all boards must now address both current and future challenges.

Today: We help organizations create best practices for high-performing boards to address current challenges, such as constant compliance changes required, expanding duties in new areas such as AI, risk management, and governance philosophy differences across countries.

Tomorrow: As futurists, we work to evaluate scenarios and design wise solutions that create agency — to both prepare and implement actions to ensure success.

Focus on Today and Tomorrow

From our Governance Practice Group perspective, the key areas to address are:

The Geopolitical Agenda for Boards

Working with boards, we advocate for broadening the traditional geopolitical perspective to include ECO-GEOpolitics. We help clients to set a strategic agenda while rapid changes in global ecosystems, as boards need a more comprehensive lens to reveal new opportunities and to create solid governance frameworks to protect eco-sensitive systems while also ensuring safeguards and protective measures. For example, US politics has major impacts on boards and governance: 1) SEC changes, 2) the impact of tariffs and supply changes that affect pricing and operations; 3) Presidential Executive Orders that create changes in regulations and policies, and 4) individual different State regulations.

Stay Ahead of the Curve with DEI and ESG Standards

As regulations shift and diverge globally, directors must stay vigilantly informed about legislative changes. It is not just for compliance. It’s also about minimizing risk and fostering supportive work cultures. We help companies stay updated on crucial issues and ensure they pave the way to a more secure, successful future.

Independent Board Directors

Build boards with the critical balance of skills and perspectives to strengthen governance, foster innovations, and promote long-term success. Good corporate governance is vital for the financial success of venture and angel-backed companies. Independent board members play key roles in maintaining a balanced and effective board. Their impartiality and experience ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of the company without conflicts of interest.

Develop Functional Boards

At times, boards have members who are outstanding in their fields, but they can’t function as a cohesive board team. We work with individual board members to develop skills and techniques that help them resolve style conflicts, hold discussions that help move the board in a positive direction, and create healthy discussions of ideas. We share our solutions for how to resolve the issues of a non-functional board.

Governance Duties with AI and Emerging Technologies

Generative AI has the fastest adoption rate of any technology in history. While companies are adopting AI, few have implemented solid strategies and governance frameworks for management and oversight. Our team works with and counsels directors to govern effectively with practices for the new era.

Support

We are here to help, especially for boards seeking: 1) best ways to address governance challenges; 2) sourcing ideal directors for board talent needed; 3) independent board evaluations; and 4) creating high-performing boards. Reach out to us for support and information.
