Join a Community Focused on Navigating Your Business Through an Uncertain Future
The Conference Board is the member-driven think tank that delivers trusted insights for what's ahead. Surveying the horizon as your organization's guardian, you face no end of risks: Rogue hackers and state-sponsored cybertheft. Activist investors and board-management conflict. Populist backlash and regulatory crackdowns.
With public trust in business leading the global agenda, you need a way to cut through the noise, find proven strategies and connect with fellow professionals you can learn from and lean on.
When you join the ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE CENTER, you join a community where leading executives and experts exchange ideas and find peer-proven, actionable approaches that will help you thrive. Be part of the conversation!
Challenges you may be facing:
- Are we doing enough to minimize cybersecurity risks and protect our intellectual property?
- How can we harden our defenses against unforeseen "black swan" events that escalate into instant crises?
- Are we doing everything we can to proactively manage activist investors and other board stakeholders?
- How can we balance employee privacy and trust with vigilance against internal security threats - whether fraud, theft, leaks, or cyber lapses?
