Article 1: A Fascinating Discussion of Governance and Risk Issues
Normal Marks (@normanmarks), Vice President, Governance, Risk and Compliance at SAP BusinessObjects, was intrigued by a report called Risk Management Survivors Offer Cautionary Tales. In his review, we get an in-depth look at not only the importance of governance, but also an idea of what future boards could look like as their construction changes with the times.
A few talking points include:
- The governing board as one of the most pivotal places for the introduction of risk management practices
- If properly redesigned, the boardroom could serve as a barricade against the next crisis
- Smaller boards make better forums
