Stewards of the Future: Boardroom or C-Suite?

In the new knowledge economy, in which constant newness is the norm, corporate and government leaders must possess an exquisite ability to anticipate and prepare for change.

• How the knowledge economy is driving the need for greater diversity in the boardroom
• The role boards must take to help make decisions in the face of risk and uncertainty
