Many boards spend years trying to optimise their performance, effectiveness, and efficiency, unfortunately with little success. What most don’t realise is that the foundational architecture, or structure, of the board is the most important focus area requiring attention to ensure long-term success. This is because proper board architecture considers multiple integrated facets of a board's appropriate makeup, not solely each individual board member's area of professional expertise or experience.
‘The Modern Board Architecture’ educates boards and business leaders on the immense value of properly architecting an experienced and integrated board of directors. Vertical Considerations such as leadership acumen, operational experience, and expertise coverage, Horizontal Considerations such as personality trait balance, strategy and governance acumen, emotional intelligence and mindfulness intelligence (EQ and MQ), and Coverage & Overlap Considerations of important expertise to allow for identification and meaningful deliberation are all required.
