Leadership including directorship is crucial to strengthen the business links and weave them to the differentiated business capabilities.
~ Pearl Zhu
The boards as top leadership team can no longer avoid, delegate, or ignore the need for technical competency among their ranks.
Digital leaders including board directors today need to understand that the linear management skills are not sufficient to lead today’s nonlinear digital world with the deep learning curve.
Every authentic leader needs to mind certain gaps and bridge the cognitive difference.
The board should frequently brainstorm IT impact on the business and leverage technological vision to the business’s strategic planning.
The board should set digital principles and guidelines for allowing the business to manage innovation in an effective way.
Innovation is too important to leave solely in the hands of the management team without any oversight or guidance by the boardroom.
The high-performing board shows the ability and openness to question itself and its decisions and discussions.
The purpose of Innovation Management is not to promote innovation, but to manage innovation as a process.
The value-added Board brings the high-performance result, “deep common sense,” balance, improved strategic thinking, creativity, wisdom and more.
