The Boardroom 2026

How boards, governance, and decision making are being redefined
A Board Ready thought leadership series on the future of governance

About the series

The Boardroom 2026 is a Board Ready thought leadership series examining how the role, composition, and functioning of boards are evolving in response to rising complexity, systemic risk, and accelerated change.

The series is written for Chairs, non-executive directors, CEOs, senior policymakers, and institutional stakeholders who are navigating governance in environments defined by uncertainty rather than stability.

Each article explores a critical shift shaping board effectiveness toward 2026, with a focus on strategic judgment, decision quality, and long-term stewardship.
