8th Annual Corporate Governance Conference

7 Dec - 8 Dec 2023

Session information

The digital board

Thursday 7 December (1200 - 1315)

Description

Industrial Revolution 4.0 heralded the era of digitalization, and it found more emphasis in the VUCA times of the COVID-19 pandemic. In such times when, digital was trending as a prefix - such as digital economy or digital transformation - boards across the globe embraced digitalization as the new normal. The panel will discuss emerging trends in corporate governance in the digital world, digital literacy and penetration at the board level, how boards contribute to digital transformation, and Corporate Governance 2.0 in this context. The panel will also consider how a digital-literate board and good governance practices can prepare a company to survive the seemingly omnipresent cybersecurity threats that accompany the digital revolution.
