In today's world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (increasingly referred to as VUCA), change is constant. Cause-and-effect thinking at executive level will no longer move the needle; boards need to become more proactive and collaborative in their approach to organizational strategy. While many boards across the globe continue to direct their companies and interpret their own strategic role based on 20th century models, Marc Stitger and Sir Cary Cooper show how these outdated methods place severe restrictions on how well a business can perform, or even survive at all, in a modern VUCA world. Boards That Dare explores how organizations can create boards that have the strategic capability, desire, and the sheer guts to identify and deliver successful strategic change in a fast-moving and disruptive environment: - What the ideal board looks like - How boards can engage in high-value dialogue and decision-making - Improving a board's cognitive understanding to unlock essential insights about their environment - The growing need for boards to make difficult strategic decisions. Based on the authors' first-hand experiences, as well as their own research and interviews with board members and chairs of international private, public and not-for-profit organizations, this highly practical and accessible book delivers the necessary answers as to how boards can and should contribute to organizational strategy.
