Boards are to head off problems and deal effectively with potential crisis

We invite all IDN members to join the IDN webinar on March 3 under the theme “The Reason Why some Top Boards can sleep at Night“.

“A Board’s aim is to try to head off problems before they arise and, if that is not possible, to deal with the crisis in the most effective way possible: getting this right is crucial as it can result in civil and/or criminal liability, reputational harm and insurance matters for many years.
