Corporate governance is about how well an organization is being run, whether it is in the right direction, as well as its overall problem-solving competency.

Modern corporate boards play significant roles in guiding businesses in the right direction and achieve expected business results. Due to the “VUCA” characteristics -Complexity, Uncertainty, Ambiguity, and Velocity of the Digital Era, the directorship in any organization must have the agility to adapt to changes and build abilities to advise, inspire and motivate a group of people toward accomplishing shared visions and goals.

Here are the multiple perspectives of shaping a strategic boardroom with digital acumen.

Inclusive Unification

Initiateboardleadership The very characteristics of digital era are complexity, ambiguity, uncertainty and ambiguity, the inevitable range, breadth, depth, and pace of uncontrollable factors acting on any organizations across vertical sectors mean identifying business vulnerability, handling the management fuzziness and constant fine-tuning are essential to improve the organizational maturity.

Inclusiveunification Business world is full of uncertainty and ambiguity. In order to deal with today’s complex problems and overcome challenges, individual work and group work cannot be done without horizontal unification and vertical penetration. Gone are the days where organizations can dictate the parameters of the working relationship via top-down, businesses today need to make shifts from static to dynamic; inside-out to outside-in people-centric. Unify people’s differences, enforce trust, transparency, respect, ensure the business ecosystem is able to communicate, negotiate, reciprocate, and cooperate to harness change and lead transformative changes.

To deal with unprecedented complexity and uncertainty, business management needs to understand why and how confounding problems persist in complex business systems, how to unify the varying viewpoints, variety of information, and diverse cultures to gain a holistic understanding of business systems, and what can be done to alleviate core problems, or proactively solve them effectively.

Innavativeviewsofseniorleadership Far too often the term "leadership" is thrown around loosely and without any regard of true meaning. Leadership is about vision and progression. The senior leadership of the organization or the society is like the steering wheel to ensure their ships are moving in the right direction towards the uncharted water.

Unusual Unification As the digital world becomes hyperconnected, interdependent, and dynamic, today's digital professionals need to work both smart and hard at the same time, not just keep their hands full, but keep their mind open. Digital mentalities are informative, inclusive, and able to embrace “unusual things” to stimulate creativity. In a collective setting, it’s critical to encourage free thinking and experimenting, have the right dose of creative tension and “unusual capabilities” to discover more hotspots of innovation, unify the best of the best, and build the culture of creativity.
