The essential governance playbook: A Corporate Governance Podcast

The essential governance playbook: The latest edition of the corporate governance podcast stresses why it’s important to have a good game plan in the modern boardroom.

Dan’s latest guest is Jonathan Foster, the author of On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance, a new guide for board members trying to navigate a governance role. 

There’s no doubt that governance has changed; responsibilities have increased. Those who have been in the game for a long time will know that decades ago, being a director was a lot more about simply saying yes to other people’s ideas. Now, it’s more complex. Board members are expected to challenge ideas, to use their duty of care to the max. 

To do this properly involves a lot of moving parts, some of which can seem overwhelming to new directors. Where are you supposed to start?

Dan and Jonathan get to the bottom of it all, unpacking the essentials of a good governance playbook, fed through Jonathan’s experience on boards worldwide.

Jonathan F. Foster has a wealth of experience in corporate governance, investment banking, both of which have fed into his in-depth knowledge of making key corporate leadership decisions. 

He is the Founder and Managing Director of Current Capital Partners LLC he has served on over 50 boards in his career, some of which were those of Fortune 500 companies, and he has a long track record of being an expert witness in corporate litigation cases. 

His new book, On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance, and what it means for the modern corporate director to have a good game plan for success. That’s something which no doubt resonates with a lot of listeners looking to find their feet in board roles which come with drastically more responsibility these days.
