Diversity
Research confirms that balanced boards make balanced decisions and that both men and women should contribute to corporate governance.
Rather than debating WHY women should be board directors, current discussions are about HOW to achieve a reasonable gender balance. FutureBoards develops projects and organises events to help companies compose the best boards and top management teams
