The Swiss Institute of Directors Partners with the Chartered Governance Institute
The Swiss Institute of Directors (SIoD) is partnering with the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI), the leading global network for corporate governance professionals with 9 affiliated members. The partnership was announced on October 25, 2023 at the Board Secretary Circle in Zurich. The partnership will provide privileged access for members to the offerings of the respective partner organization as well as include the organization of joint events.
The Board Foundation, with its development entity Swiss Board School and its network organization Swiss Institute of Directors, has a long tradition of training and networking corporate governance professionals such as board secretaries. “Board secretaries play a central role in the good functioning of the board; their support is therefore fully in line with our mission to empower board leaders.” Michael Hilb, Chair of the Board Foundation, states, “We are proud to offer the members of our Board Secretary Chapter access to an international network of national institutes, as we already offer the board members through our collaboration with GNDI and ecoDa.”
Board ViewsMission Accomplished? The State of Digital Governance
Five years ago, I invited a number of thought leaders to reflect with me on the role of the board of directors in the face of digitalization. The result was a collection of twelve perspectives on the governance of digitalization (Hilb 2017). Where are we now, five years, one pandemic, and perceived thousands of articles on digital governance later?
Board BooksNormatives Management
Die globale Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hat wachgerüttelt und gezeigt, dass sich für die Unternehmensführung ein neues Management-Modell aufdrängt, das nicht mehr vom Prinzip der Gewinnmaximierung, sondern von einem «Gewinn unter Nebenbedingungen», d.h. unter der AnÂnahme einer realistischen Berücksichtigung von Anliegen und lnteressen aller Anspruchsgruppen, ausgeht. Diese Nebenbedingungen umfassen dabei alle jene Kriterien, die über die rein ökonomische Maximierung hinausgeÂhen und die Nachhaltigkeit sowie die Corporate Social Responsibility definieren und sicherstellen. Sie bilden die Grundlage für das normative Management, das bewusst in die strategische Planung in der Unternehmung einzuÂbeziehen ist.
