We are witnessing a quiet but quick transformation of corporate governance.

First, the status quo has been shifted across multiple sectors of the economy. Consider the forced experimentation with digital technologies, the increased use of remote work in many companies, and a reduction in environmentally harmful behaviour and the resulting decrease in pollution levels.

A quick return to the “old normal” seems unlikely. The reset has exposed the need for a fundamental organisational transformation and new business models better aligned to new realities.

Second, recent events are taking place in the context of a broader technological and social change, namely the digital transformation. Delivering innovation – offering technology-driven products and services that provide a frictionless user experience – has become the number one priority for all businesses.

The challenge facing every business today, therefore, is to confront and navigate these twin challenges. Doing this requires, in many cases, a shift in direction and the adoption of a new approach to the governance, organisation and operations of the firm.

Across all sectors of the economy, we can see changes in how businesses are structured. To remain relevant and organised for innovation, every business must become a tech business. To remain relevant and organised for innovation, every business must also become a media firm. Smart corporate leaders understand that they need to continually reinvent themselves – they can’t know, show, and control (as if they are “the smartest guys in the room”). Instead, they build and sustain the context for communication, collaboration, and co-creation.

The programme explains these trends and identifies factors that business leaders need to consider when they want to “organise for innovation.”
