A hugely valuable discussion topic, with no really clear answers (for me), no one size fits all. Different cultures, different industries, call for different solutions. At the end of the day, a board supplies at least two things: governance (accountability), and fresh strategic eyes on difficult, and evolving, problems. Perhaps a menu of options for different business environments would be most helpful. For sure, the old ways of iterative board meetings must change! http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2013/01/the-best-approach-to-a-board-package.html View in LinkedIn

An interesting read, and an insight into exactly how much the world is changing around us.

A truly beautiful story of the power of modern science, and how a computer guy played a key role, by analysis of large DNA data sets, in stopping a superbug. This reads like a novel, and if you have the chance to share it with young people, I believe it is a potentially life changing inspirational story. We need more success stories like this that are also so well written! http://lnkd.in/_vZaVM View in LinkedIn
