Technology has a central role in communications and organisational operations, to the degree that a technology blind spot on a company board can have serious and wide-ranging implications for a company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A board\u2019s lack of understanding of the technology landscape can cause missed opportunities for growth that stems from the evaluation and adoption of or capitalisation on new technologies.<\/p>\n

Lack of expertise at board level can also mean ignorance of the potential risks associated with emerging technologies or of tech-related vulnerabilities in the organisation; such a board could not reasonably be expected to engage effectively with a senior executive responsible for IT, for instance, or to make informed decisions regarding technology investments or implementation.<\/p>\n

The risks here include wasted or lost resources, potential liabilities, and missed opportunities for innovation due to failure to capitalise on the latest industry trends and developments. There are obvious potential competitive implications here as well.<\/p>\n

There is also the risk that a board may be entirely unqualified to assess the productivity of the organisation\u2019s core product or service \u2013 perhaps the most notorious recent example being the U.S. company Theranos<\/a>, which promised to \u201cdemocratise healthcare\u201d and revolutionise blood testing with a machine-read fingerprick test that could run up to 240 different tests on just a few drops of blood on its proprietary \u2018Edison\u2019 machines.<\/p>\n

Founder Elizabeth Holmes raised hundreds of millions from investors and stacked the Theranos board with luminaries including former U.S. Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, retired Marine Corps four-star general Jim Mattis, and former Wells Fargo CEO Richard Kovacevich \u2013 but none of them had the tech credentials or know-how to critically assess whether the Edison was delivering what the company claimed, or to authoritatively delve behind the founder\u2019s claims about the progress that was being made.<\/p>\n

The best way to tackle a technology blind spot in a board is to bring in outside expertise \u2013 possibly a specialist consultant or other industry expert \u2013 who can give the board an understanding of the current tech landscape and potential risks associated with emerging technologies. Arguably, such an independent expert interrogator or educator might have uncovered the problems at Theranos much earlier, or at least have guided the board to ask more probing and specific questions about the brand-new tech.<\/p>\n

Directors could similarly benefit from tech-related conferences, seminars, or workshops, or even classes on specific tech areas or issues on which they know their knowledge or perspective is insufficient.<\/p>\n

Crucially, the board should look for ways to involve the organisation\u2019s technology team or departments in board meetings and strategic planning sessions. The degree or frequency at which this needs to happen will vary depending on the centrality of the function of tech in the company\u2019s operations, but having a true technical perspective in the boardroom, and regular input on the subject, can help ensure that the company is properly evaluating the latest trends and developments in the technology world and mitigating risk as a matter of course.<\/p>\n

23 bad habits in the boardroom<\/h2>\n

Bad things \u2013 economic downturns, geopolitical instability, you name it \u2013 happen to good companies, but the leaders and workers who have remained focused and steadfast deserve to be acknowledged for everything they have done right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some boards and leaders will commonly display some self-destructive (but entirely avoidable) habits before, during, and after potential crisis situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"23As told by the leaders who have contributed to a new white paper on issue and crisis management by PRGN member Alexander PR<\/a>, alongside global experts, here are the top 23 bad habits:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Failing to meet often enough \u2013 or at all.<\/li>\n
  2. Reversing strategy too often, and not adhering to the strategy in the first place.<\/li>\n
  3. Not understanding the key stakeholders of the organisation, both internal and external.<\/li>\n
  4. Failing to strike the right balance between empathy and frenzy.<\/li>\n
  5. Retracting into the boardroom bubble.<\/li>\n
  6. Acting without sober preparation and planning.<\/li>\n
  7. Lack of emphasis on communication, or avoiding difficult conversations.<\/li>\n
  8. Trying to declare \u2018crisis over\u2019 too early.<\/li>\n
  9. Not thinking about diversity in the right way.<\/li>\n
  10. Not making the time to understand the implications of emerging ESG regulations.<\/li>\n
  11. Not being disciplined about using an ethical decision-making framework.<\/li>\n
  12. Overweighting the value of name or reputation in board appointments.<\/li>\n
  13. Not understanding the lifecycle of the business to ensure you have the right talent.<\/li>\n
  14. Letting ego into the boardroom.<\/li>\n
  15. Undermining, beating up on, or abandoning the CEO when things get rough, or publicly blaming the CEO.<\/li>\n
  16. Directors need to come prepared, and they need to read their board reports.<\/li>\n
  17. Underestimating the dimension of a crisis on their own workforce.<\/li>\n
  18. Not backing themselves.<\/li>\n
  19. Not focusing on cyber security.<\/li>\n
  20. Not knowing the difference between the responsibilities of being a director versus being a manager in a small business; this can manifest as getting too involved, at the expense of the helicopter view.<\/li>\n
  21. Underestimating the need for quality data outputs and insights, and investment in technology.<\/li>\n
  22. Favouring short-term results over long-term objectives.<\/li>\n
  23. Not having a (disaster) plan in place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the end success comes down to this: leaders ensuring they surround themselves with a multidisciplinary \u2018dream team\u2019. Diverse experience, expertise, and viewpoints fuel confidence and competence, particularly when it comes to preparing for and dealing with instability and crises.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
