The Future Proof Lab
The Future Proof Lab prepares people and companies for the future of work.
In our recent series of newsletters, we've taken a deep dive into the pivotal role of a company's board in crisis management, risk mitigation, and fostering long-term growth.?
Our journey began with an exploration of the unfortunate Titan Submersible incident, where we questioned the board's involvement in this and other notable corporate failures such as Theranos and WeWork. This discussion underscored the necessity of cognitive diversity within boards and the crucial role of board members in stepping up to manage risks effectively.
As we continued our exploration, we focused on the board's responsibilities during crises and the path to becoming a board member. We emphasized the importance of stability and clear communication during crises, and the need for board members to adopt a strategic mindset. We also debunked some common myths about board service, highlighting that it requires substantial commitment and a high degree of integrity.?
Through these newsletters, we've aimed to shed light on the complexities and responsibilities of board service, providing valuable insights for those currently serving on boards and those aspiring to do so.?
We hope these discussions have enriched your understanding and equipped you with the knowledge to navigate the challenging yet rewarding world of board service.
