Resilience is the core concept for boards this year, as multiple crises continue
to unravel at home and around the world.
The looming spectres of recession, talent shortages and geopolitical conflict combine to create one of the most challenging environments of recent times.
Against this backdrop, boards are also managing the long-term task of responding to the climate, along with the other issues that make up the ESG agenda.
To help forge a route through these difficulties Board Agenda, is hosting a special breakfast briefing for board directors and senior corporate executives of UK PLCs and significant private companies.
Prevailing Against Uncertainty:
The Board's Role in Building Resilience
Limited Seats
The first will ask how boards prioritise the risks they should address, how they build resilience, become more forward looking, navigate the downside, capitalise on opportunities, and manage the balance between short- and long-term concerns.
The second will take a deep dive into how boards can improve corporate resilience in the face of navigating ESG risks ranging from disclosure requirements to investor pressure and supply chain management, and the opportunities presented that can transform a business to be thriving, purpose driven and sustainable.
The turbulence facing businesses shows no sign of receding and boards contend with a slew of urgent new threats and opportunities. This Board Agenda breakfast briefing is designed to help boards find a way through’.
Registrations for this special breakfast briefing are now open. Spaces are limited, so please do register your interest today, and our team will be in contact.

This is a complementary event hosted by Board Agenda with our partners Diligent and Mazars. Bringing together senior board members and experts from across the governance sector, this is a free event for corporate directors of PLCs and companies across all industry sectors.
What can boards do to drive resilience forward?
Geopolitical flashpoints and supply chain disruption. What intel should boards be obtaining, and how should they act on it?
Economic uncertainty and market volatility is a factor facing businesses across all industry sectors. What impact will this have on financial and insolvency risk, what are the implications for stakeholders and reputation?
Scarcity of talent is a key risk for firms if not addressed. We ask what approaches boards can take, initiatives and policies they can implement.
Cybersecurity, data security, and ransomware. What steps can boards take to prepare for attacks?
How do boards address the need for horizon scanning, how do they achieve a balance between the here and now, and how risks will unfold in the future?
How should boards prepare for and adapt to new ESG regulations?
How should ESG resilience be measured? What questions should the board be asking?
Panel Guests Will Discuss
