Beyond the looking glass… What could ‘fit-for-future-purpose’ governance operating models look like in the future?

This study builds further on the paper presented at Virtus Corporate Governance Conference in May 20201, which explored the suitability and current relevance of board operating models. That paper highlighted challenges relating to the suitability of prevailing board operating models and posited some alternative board governance models as a provocation. While a considerable amount of academic and commercial research focuses on current board issues, performance drivers, etc., there is little apparent futuristic thinking, i.e., consideration of the broader changes that will be likely that could inform, modify, accelerate or possibly negate current thinking on what boards should be doing to be effective.
