“Thanks very much Brent! I suggest that boards need to ask themselves ‘how much is good governance worth to the people our organisation exists to benefit?’ Generally boards are spending far less than their answer to this question would suggest. Also, because board face-to-face time is SO precious it seems to me that the time needed to prepare for a really focused and productive meeting is often severely underestimated. I would say that Chairs need and deserve far more support in this respect than they currently have available to them.” — [Caroline Oliver, co-author w/John Carver of Corporate Boards that Create Value]
