Board-level attention to the foundations of decision-making can help give companies an edge in today’s complex and competitive business environment.

In Decision-making in the Visionary Boardroom, the WomenCorporateDirectors Foundation’s Thought Leadership Commission and the KPMG Board Leadership Center explore what drives effective decision-making, including an understanding of various barriers, finding the right information, creating an appropriate environment, and evaluating and enhancing the decision-making process itself.

Building on the 2016 report, Seeing Far and Seeing Wide: Moving toward Visionary Board, and the 2017 report, The Visionary Board at Work: Developing a Culture of Leadership, the WCD 2018 Thought Leadership Commission Report offers recommendations and practical suggestion to encourage decision-making in the visionary boardroom.

KPMG is proud to sponsor this report and to present it on behalf of the WCD 2018 Thought Leadership Commission: members with experience in boardrooms in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia—from public and private companies, co-ops and family-owned businesses.
