With all that companies are navigating today—strains from inflation and economic uncertainty, supply chain disruption, geopolitical risk, climate change, tight labor markets, and a polarized stakeholder landscape—prioritizing where the board should spend its time in the months ahead may be one of its most important, and formidable, challenges.
Midyear is an opportune time to fine-tune the board’s agenda priorities. This quarter, we share our own midyear observations on a number of hot-button areas potentially shaping board agendas for the balance of the year. It’s also a good time to look back on how the company has responded to the various crises of the last few years—whether crisis response and resilience plans have been effective. Is the company ready and agile for whatever might come next?
In this edition of Directors Quarterly, we also look at the financial reporting and auditing developments that audit committees should have on their radars, views on how boards can do better at assessing talent for the business and the boardroom, the new employee/employer dynamic and implications for talent strategy, and takeaways from the 2022 proxy season.
