Event
The science of board effectiveness
29 April 2026 | 13:00 GST
What will the event cover?
Research shows organisations spend an average of $3.7m a year on board reporting. Yet for many boards, that investment isn't translating into better decisions or stronger performance.
Join Director of Research Megan Pantelides and Director of Middle East Sally Yousif for a data-driven session exploring what separates high-performing boards from the rest — and what your board can do differently to get ahead of the game in 2026.
We'll cover:
- Data-backed insights from our recent Board Value Index — where the Middle East is leading, and the barriers still holding boards back.
- Tried and tested methodologies to improve efficiency and effectiveness in your boardroom.
- Practical next steps, and how to get involved in future Board Intelligence research.
