Governance in the Digital Age

A Guide for the Modern Corporate Board Director

Technological disruption, emerging cyber risks, evolving regulations, an unpredictable economic and social climate–these things have have made the board’s job significantly more challenging in just the last five years. While most corporate governance books put the focus on established principles and practices, this book highlights how practices are changing with the rapid advance of technology. Based on the authors’ work with more than 15,000 organizations and 500,000 directors around the globe, Governance in the Digital Age reveals how companies can shift how they conceive of and enact the functions of governance.
