Building boards fit for the future
Boards have become a company’s moral compass. Going beyond mere compliance, they now set the tone on everything from social responsibility and sustainability to diversity and ethics. At the same time, corporate boards must champion innovation with force to ensure their organizations are fit for the future.
Heidrick & Struggles has built and advised the boards of many of the world’s best-known and most respected companies.
