Top priorities for boards in 2024

Join the EY Center for Board Matters on Thursday, February 15, at 3:00 p.m. ET for another episode in our webcast series, Better Questions for Boards, designed to provide directors with insights and questions to consider as they engage with management on a variety of complex boardroom issues.

Each year the EY Center for Board Matters surveys board members to find out what their priorities are for the upcoming year. This year we heard from more than 350 corporate directors from a cross section of industries and company sizes. Each selected from a list of nine topics and ranked them in order of importance. During this webcast we will talk about the overall results of the survey and have a lively discussion focused on three key areas:

• Staying agile amid continued economic uncertainty. Learn about the drivers of economic activity demanding board attention, and how boards can enhance oversight and flexibility as uncertain economic conditions persist.
• Balancing discipline and transformation in capital strategy. Find out how boards can help companies adapt strategic priorities to a slower-growth environment – and about the importance of continuing to invest in long-term priorities as disruption continues.
• Embracing cybersecurity and data privacy as strategic advantages. Hear about what’s driving the focus on these topics and the importance of broadening cybersecurity and data privacy beyond compliance.

Across each of these areas, panelists will discuss actions boards should take in 2024. The webcast will be moderated by Kris Pederson, EY Americas Center for Board Matters Leader.
