Following the launch of the Malaysian Board Practices Review 2020, an initiative by ICDM in collaboration with Russell Reynolds Associates (RRA) and Bursa Malaysia, we take a deep dive into some of the findings and explore what needs to change for boards to enhance effectiveness and build long-lasting stakeholder confidence and trust. Alvin Chiang, Board and CEO Advisory Consultant at Russell Reynolds Associates joins our president & CEO, Michele Kythe Lim, and Nadia S Hassan, producer and senior broadcast journalist at The Edge, to discuss how Malaysian boards identify independent director candidates, how they evaluate their performance and boards’ overall approach towards leadership development.
