Modern boardroom blind spots: A Corporate Governance Podcast

Modern boardroom blind spots: The latest corporate governance podcast episode unpacks new data all about how boards view modern corporate challenges. Are they as ready as they think they are?

Business success has always been directly tied to the quality of an organisation’s leadership at the board and executive levels. While most business leaders are confident individuals, the findings of TCGI’s Boardroom Resilience in 2026 white paper reveal a serious gap between board perception and readiness, leaving many organisations unexpectedly exposed. 

We’re seeing now that the greatest threats are not necessarily those from outside an organisation, but are from internal vulnerabilities. Escalating cybersecurity threats, the strategic imperative of ESG, a complex regulatory environment and the abrupt acceleration of AI integration are today’s items on the boardroom agenda. However, the greatest barrier to addressing these issues is the presence of potential blind spots and capability gaps within the boardroom itself. 

Dan and TCGI Co-Founders David W Duffy and Anthony Quigley discuss these blind spots in detail, and lay out what it will take to be a successful director in a modern governance landscape, defined by more urgency, disruption and responsibility.

David W Duffy is the founder and CEO of the Corporate Governance Institute, an experienced board member, governance consultant and a leading author on corporate governance. David is considered an innovator in governance research and engagement and is an authority on global, board-related matters.

Anthony Quigley is a Board Member and Strategic Advisor to a number of educational organisations. A recognised leader in the online education sector, with a very strong pedagogical background, he co-founded and was CEO of Digital Marketing Institute, is founder of Code Institute (a fast-growing EdTech provider of software development programmes), strategic advisor, investor, and board member of a number of EdTech venture. He has founded, developed and sold a number of other successful businesses.

The Corporate Governance Podcast is your taster of what’s new in governance worldwide. The modern director understands that boardroom responsibilities have dramatically increased, and old norms are being challenged by new ideals around sustainable business that respect all stakeholders – not just shareholders. 

Because of this, corporate governance education is an invaluable addition to a director’s skillset—something that will help you stand out amongst your colleagues.
