A new book, The Future Boardroom, provides a playbook for directors and executives to steer their companies through these turbulent times while maintaining resilience and long-term value.
Written by Helle Bank Jorgensen, a leading expert in corporate governance, The Future Boardroom - How to Transform in Turbulent Times offers strategic insights and actionable solutions for boardrooms navigating today's most pressing challenges.
