On the board agenda 2024

December 2023

In the current environment, boards continue to be faced with challenges across all aspects of their remit making effective decision making ever more difficult as different stakeholders pull focus in different directions. Many companies are grappling with forecasting demand and pricing, supply chain disruption, other input cost pressures and challenges in attracting and retaining talent. At the same time boards, have to work hard to keep pace with developments in technology in order to remain ahead of both the opportunities and threats posed by innovations such as Generative AI.

The issues of today call for directors who are up for these many challenges, directors who believe in trust being the cornerstone of business, who are willing to be held accountable through clear and concise communications and who advocate for change and high standards in the long-term interest of all stakeholders.

It is with all these issues and challenges in mind that we have constructed the content of this publication. We hope you find it a helpful and interesting read.

On the board agenda 2023: Autumn Regulatory Update

September 2023

This autumn, macro topics once again dominate, with boards focusing on forecasting demand and pricing, supply chain disruption, other input cost pressures and challenges in attracting and retaining talent.

On top of these areas, there continue to be many moving parts in the governance landscape and reform agenda, and so this Autumn Regulatory Update is designed to meet two objectives:

  • provide a status update on the regulatory landscape boards need to navigate, and
  • help you set the agenda for the remainder of the year.

We recognise that you have many important business topics on the agenda, but as you plan your board and audit committee agendas for the remainder of 2023 we hope you find this publication useful. To help you explore topics further we provide links both to Deloitte and external source materials.
