Key Priorities For Boards In 2022

The role of directors is more interesting and challenging than ever—the dynamic nature of the pandemic and shifting global markets mean continued uncertainty and persistent evolution in the way corporations do business. Below are six priorities for directors as they navigate companies through this disruptive time.

This year, we collaborated with Hugessen Consulting to provide perspective and commentary on their annual Director Pulse Survey. The survey analyzes the responses of 75 Canadian director participants collected in the final two weeks of November 2021. The directors sit on a wide range of company boards, including with respect to ownership, industry, geography, and company size. The goal was to capture directors' sentiments regarding the ongoing impacts of the pandemic on their organizations, their compensation programs (read our commentary on the survey's executive compensation results here) and related governance topics.
