Back to EpisodesThe Boardroom Paradox: Why Fiduciary Competence is Changing Faster than Your Board [The Conference Board]
Description
Boardrooms today are navigating competing priorities: preserving institutional knowledge while responding to rapid technological and societal change. In this episode, Doug Chia sits down with Andrew Jones of The Conference Board to unpack new data revealing how boards are evolving, more slowly than expected, and why fewer directors are being added despite increasing complexity.
From the decline in board turnover to the targeted recruitment of specialized expertise, this episode explores how governance is adapting in incremental ways. They also discuss the implications of shifting diversity trends, the expansion beyond traditional CEO pipelines, and the growing importance of intentional board composition in uncertain times.
