Series Overview:

More privately held companies are recognizing the benefits of effective corporate governance and are working towards establishing more formalized and independent boards of directors.

Multiple factors influence this evolution at private companies and its continued acceleration. The many issues that modern boards are concerned with include:

  • Managing the increasing complexity companies face in today’s operating environment and the associated requirement to have additional and new expertise to help navigate
  • Shoring up risk management practices to manage an expanded and ever-changing risk profile
  • Dealing with leadership transitions and succession planning resulting from the demographic wave associated with leadership retirements and generational ownership transfers
  • Responding to the ever-increasing pressure that companies face from foreign competitors
  • Managing growing stakeholder expectations – customers, employees, community – as well as government regulation

Establishing, maintaining, and evolving a more structured and formalized approach to governance can feel daunting. This webinar series discusses various aspects of good governance in private companies, including best practices and common pitfalls. It brings a variety of experiences and perspectives on the most common questions around private company governance.
