Supervision innovates
You want to understand how the world around you evolves. Which innovations will disrupt your sector? Which developments will influence your organization? Technological and social developments are evolving faster than ever. But ‘connect tomorrow’ is mainly about people.
‘Connect tomorrow’ asks for a growth mindset, for new subjects on the agenda, for looking forward to the day after tomorrow, and for challenging the different perspectives and ethical frameworks. It is about creating breakthrough prospects and countervailing power in the boardroom. This key in a good function governance system.
As an advisory board or a supervisory board you will have to create the comfort and support that the executive board needs and at the same time facilitate a healthy amount of countervailing power to keep everyone sharp.
Experience, wisdom and decisiveness are crucial in a boardroom, just as a vision on the day after tomorrow. When we talk about disruption, it is not only about technological developments. Disruption is mainly about how developments influence us humans in how we think, collaborate, communicate and act. Therefore, as an organization and especially as a supervisory board, to cope and to act upon disruption it is crucial to have a continuously conversation with all your stakeholders taking into account the various perspectives that the diversity of our society offers.
In a healthy governance system, a supervisory board and non-executive directors allows itself to be challenged by diversity of ethical frameworks and perspectives, knowing this will lead to more insights and enriched prospects for the day after tomorrow. More questions will arise and more opportunties will be created. The momentum during a vacancy within a supervisory board is every time a unique opportunity to strengthen the team with a challenging perspective.
