In this episode of Governance Matters, we explore the critical challenge of bridging the information gap in modern boardrooms. Boards often rely heavily on management for the information needed to make strategic decisions, which can hinder their ability to provide independent oversight and challenge assumptions.

Using the historical lens of the Napoleon case study, we uncover how limited access to diverse perspectives led to disastrous decisions—like the ill-fated invasion of Russia—and draw parallels to the risks faced by boards today.

Join us as we discuss:

• Why access to independent and diverse information is essential for effective governance.


• Practical strategies boards can adopt to reduce reliance on management for critical insights.


• How to ask the right questions and challenge the status quo to ensure informed decision-making.
