November 4 | 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm

🚀 Innovation is (or should be) topping every board agenda — but most board members aren’t ready for it: According to McKinsey, 90% of executives say innovation is a strategic priority, yet only 6% are satisfied with performance. 👎 Meanwhile, PwC finds 60% of board members feel underprepared to guide it.
💫 If innovation is now a board-level issue, how should NEDs show up?
➡️ Join us for a 30-minute executive-level briefing tailored for non-executive directors.
Expect a high-signal, no-fluff briefing designed to elevate your innovation fluency, impact and influence.
Drawing on the firm’s global portfolio and and research from McKinsey, PwC, MIT CISR, and BCG, this session will:
- ✅ Clarify what innovation is now — and what it isn’t
- ✅ Reframe the your role in innovation, data, and digital transformation
- ✅ Share practical rules you can apply for governing innovation without slowing it down
- ✅ Offer concrete actions you can take this quarter
