In today’s fast-evolving business environment, the most urgent question Board Nomination and Remuneration Committees (BNRCs) facing is not “Do we have the right people on the board now?” - but rather, “Will we have the right skills to lead in the future?”
Yet, many boards continue to treat the board skills matrix as a routine compliance document, failing to use it as a dynamic governance tool. As a result, organisations are often unprepared when a director retires, board renewal is required, or new strategic capabilities such as ESG oversight, digital transformation or geopolitical awareness are suddenly needed.
This exclusive dialogue is specially curated for the BNRC members and board influencers to challenge conventional thinking and present practical strategies for using board skills matrix to drive succession planning, upskilling directors and ensuring future board readiness. Our expert panellists will share actionable insights to help BNRCs stay ahead of the curve and support you to effectively prepare and plan for future board talent requirements.
In conjunction to the Dialogue session, we will also hold a graduation ceremony for ICDM’s Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme (ADIP) participants, the next generation of board-ready talent.
