The faster things change, the harder it is to see a clear path forward. Just ask today’s corporate decision-makers, who must grapple with questions like: What are companies’ biggest strategic priorities in this shifting landscape? What challenges are keeping their boards awake at night?
Where are the greatest opportunities emerging for their companies – and what will it take to seize them? This new report seeks to provide clarity for corporate boards doing business in Asia-Pacific (APAC) – a region largely underrepresented in global data sets that tend to be United States-focused. It captures the voices of over 200 senior leaders across all industries in Government, private and not-for-profit organisations, taking an APACspecific view that lets us unpack how governance priorities, challenges and opportunities are playing out in ways unique to this part of the world.
The research highlights a governance environment transforming in real time. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way organisations work, creating new opportunities even as it introduces risks around data, privacy and ethics. Escalating cybersecurity threats have also made resilience a non-negotiable board priority.
These forces put digital transformation at the top of the agenda – forcing boards to rethink how they manage risk and prepare for the future. New challenges in regulatory compliance, board effectiveness and long-term resilience have made it clear that directors must expand their perspectives and dedicate more time to strategy. By reading this report, we hope you’ll gain a more grounded view of how boards across APAC are adapting to these momentous changes and what effective governance will look like in the years ahead.
