As the focus continuously shifts to environmental and societal needs, governance priorities and practices also need to evolve. Thus, a new governance model is critical to ensure that global governance remains fit for purpose in a dynamic innovation environment.
The corporate secretary, as the gatekeeper of governance, must pioneer the transformation of the corporate governance system to ensure that the board shapes the integration of innovation into the overall organizational strategy.
In this webinar, we will explore various innovative governance practices introduced by corporate secretaries and professionals, the influence of corporate secretaries on the boards and regulators to adopt innovation in corporate governance issues, and the journey towards implementing digital tools to leverage the modern boardroom.
