“I have little doubt that the board of the future will be a vast improvement on its predecessors. Instead of being driven by next quarter’s (or even next year’s) share price, it will be firmly focused on long-term sustainable financial performance”, Helle Bank Jorgensen.
This is one of the concluding remarks in Helle Bank Jorgensen’s new book The Future Boardroom – How to Transform in Turbulent Times.
She argues that the board of the future will:
- Focus not solely on shareholders, but also consider the interests of all who contribute to the organization’s success.
- Move away from being primarily dominated by the traditional business establishment. Instead, it will draw its members from a more diverse pool carefully defined to help the company execute its strategy.
- Beyond counting dollars, cents, euros, or other currencies, it will take its responsibility to society seriously, especially the company’s impact on scarce natural resources.
As the book tries to spell out, these changes will involve a massive shift in mindsets and corporate cultures, but this transition will take place far more quickly than most of us expect.
