Perhaps not superhuman, said Ogier partner Sara Johns, speaking
at BLGlobal's CI NEDs Forum this week, but expectations are
high and challenges that current and future NEDs must meet
include:
A complex regulatory and risk
environment
The need for true financial
literacy
A real understanding of the impact of
technology in driving new business models and corporate
strategies
Discussing NEDs and the Law, Sara said: "It seems that many
boards still do not regard IT as being a strategic competency that
needs to be an integral part of the continuing corporate, financial
and risk management matrix of their organisation.
"I find this surprising because, in my view, what happens
online is fast becoming central to the governance equation. My
prediction is that we will see more and more new generation, tech
savvy NEDs at board level and that their contribution will become a
key value-add that stakeholders will expect their non-exec director
base to bring to the table."
