Thought Leadership

Is your board as global as your strategy?

What a difference a few months make. We decided to undertake our Global Board Index survey long before the current economic crisis. But if we ever needed something to underscore and add an exclamation point to our long-held view of the necessity of a global board, we now have it. Our study confirms that the boards of large, public companies — the vast majority of which derive a significant percentage of their revenues from international markets — still have boards that are not nearly as global as their current business or aspirations. This deficit matters.

Global representation on European boards

While our Global Board Index report focuses on the representation of international directors on the boards of U.S. companies and implications for successfully implementing global strategies, it may be helpful to view these trends within a broader context. In an increasingly interconnected world, developments and practices in one market are likely to have an impact on others, and there are lessons to be shared.
