Why attend Becoming a More Digitally Savvy Board Member?

Digital transformation involves rethinking how technology can be used to improve business models, value proposition, customer experience, operational efficiency, and more. This means innovating to deliver enhanced products, services, and customer engagement, but also means having a board of directors that is digitally conversant.

Findings from recent MIT research show that board members who understand the impact of emerging technologies on business success are helping companies outperform competitors. Having a digitally savvy board is the new financial performance differentiator. Digitally savvy boards help their companies move forward at a sufficient pace, advocating for change by supporting and sometimes nudging their CEOs.

Conversely, when a board lacks digital savviness, it can’t get a handle on important elements of strategy and oversight, and thus can’t play its critical role of helping guide the company to a successful future.
