About this event:
Organiser: Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce
If you have a board that largely looks and thinks the same, with similar experience, it will have a narrow view on a world that is changing fast, regardless of how talented its members
are.
In unsettled times, it is perhaps a natural reaction to maintain the status quo and avoid change. But in fact, accelerating progress on diversifying the boardroom is now more important than ever. Faced with exceptional challenges, businesses will need creativity, different perspectives and experiences to navigate the year ahead and stimulate long-term growth.
Gender diversity has long been a focus for many boardrooms and evidence shows that UK boards have taken action to improve female representation. But there is no doubt that progress needs to be accelerated.
