Episode Synopsis

From Oversight to Insight—or Irrelevance: The Board’s Challenge | Navigating the Fog of Change™When the fog of change thickens—technology upheaval, geopolitical shocks, shifting expectations—the easy temptation is for boards to retreat into oversight. But that’s not enough; not anymore.In this episode of Focus on Growth, Tom Doorley of Sage Partners is joined by governance experts Bob Kueppers (former leader of Deloitte’s Director Series and Sage Partner) and Dave Rosenblum (public company director at Hanmi Bank and Sage Partner) to explore what separates boards that merely watch from those that have impact.They discuss:How boards can become true partners to management in setting a Leader’s Change Agenda.The twin roles every board must balance: Lookouts who spot risk and Scouts who find opportunity.What to do when a “fair-weather CEO” faces storm conditions.Why “noses in, fingers out” isn’t enough in a world of perpetual disruption.How boards and management can build the trust and collaboration needed to see—and act—through the fog.The message is clear: In times of massive, fast, and forever change, boards that only oversee risk irrelevance. The best ones turn oversight into insight—and into impact.
