Effective board oversight of geostrategic risk 

In today’s dynamic business landscape, boards face unprecedented challenges in overseeing geostrategic risks. This webcast will provide insights into how directors can enhance their knowledge to effectively address these complexities.

Join the EY Center for Board Matters on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. ET for another episode in Better Questions for Boards, our webcast series designed to provide directors with insights and questions to consider as they engage with management on a variety of complex boardroom issues.

Over the past five years, many boards have significantly increased their oversight activity related to geostrategic risk, and the proportion of boards participating in important political risk oversight activities has grown.

This webcast will address the current political and economic landscape, and panelists will talk about how leading boards are preparing to meet the geostrategic challenges of today and tomorrow. The agenda will provide board members with practical advice on enhancing director skills and knowledge, embedding geostrategy into board activities, and supporting management in identifying and mitigating global and political risks.

This 60-minute CPE-eligible webcast will be moderated by Robyn Bew from the EY Americas Center for Board Matters.
