Skills for the future: assessing your board
18 November 2025 | 12:00–12:30 GMT
What will the event cover?
Most skills assessments review what you have now - not what you'll need next. And what made you successful and brought you here today is not what will help you thrive in the future.
Your board's skills matrix probably shows no critical gaps. Your evaluation confirms directors are competent. But are you assessing the skills you have today—or the capabilities you'll need for your future strategic direction? Can your board govern AI, enable innovation through disruption, and lead the business you're becoming?
Join us to learn how to assess board skills for tomorrow—identifying the capability gaps that matter and building the expertise your future business demands.
We'll cover:
- Why skills matrices can miss future needs, and how to assess for readiness, not just current performance.
- The capabilities boards need to navigate disruption, enable innovation, and create value.
- How to identify gaps, evaluate what you'll need, and build the board for 2028.
