Moving Towards a Visionary Board

The right board composition offers the benefit of a broad range of experiences and perspectives to help inform and continuously pressure-test company strategy, including backgrounds that deepen the collective understandingof challenges and opportunities in emerging markets, the implications of technology and social media, and relevant trends based on learnings from other industries. As Susan Stautberg says, “a visionary board is by definition a diverse board—diverse in expertise, industry, geography, gender, ethnicity, and age.”
