Welcome

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Briefings for the Boardroom (BfB), an all-new digital sister publication of Korn Ferry Briefings, which for more than six years has covered key management trends across a range of industries.

In BfB we’ll focus on crucial issues to boards. That’s half of our pledge. We also promise to respect your limited time and keep things brief.

In this edition, WATCH Korn Ferry’s exclusive interview with Lieutenant General (Ret.) Franklin L. Hagenbeck on the threat of cyberterrorism and the precautions you need to take. We explore the idea that boards must first understand how to lead themselves. Plus, we tackle what Dodd-Frank means for you now.

Upcoming installments will continue to explore the issue of cybersecurity with Lieutenant General (Ret.) Rhett Hernandez, as well as the science of CEO assessment, succession, board evaluation and effectiveness, current compensation trends and much more.

We hope you find BfB an enlightening and useful conversation at the center of the corporate governance arena.
