How boards can support a more agile response to crises

Join the EY Center for Board Matters on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. (ET) for another episode in our webcast series, Better Questions for Boards, designed to provide directors with insights and questions to consider as they engage with management on a variety of complex boardroom issues.

Boards and their organizations are rethinking traditional approaches to today’s crises, which are increasingly frequent and interconnected. Many are taking a longer-term view that supports a more dynamic and agile response to crises. Find out how leading boards can enhance their oversight approach to crisis management and embed resiliency into the company culture, processes and resourcing. Panelists will explore topics including:

• A look at today’s corporate crises. Hear about the different forms of crises facing today’s companies, why some crises never seem to end and how social media can accelerate the impact of a crisis.
• Rethinking crisis management. Find out why conventional approaches can hinder a dynamic response and how an enhanced crisis management framework can lead to more effective outcomes.
• How boards are evolving their oversight. Learn how leading boards are re-examining crisis management oversight to bring a resiliency mindset and focus on the long term.

This CPE-eligible webcast will be 75 minutes. The discussion will be moderated by Kris Pederson, EY Americas Leader, Center for Board Matters.
