THE BOARD MEMBER’S VALUE EQUATION

How to Add Real Value in the Boardroom

By Jon Ane

What value are you contributing to this Board?

It is a simple question. Perhaps too simple.

A Board Member may possess decades of experience, impressive qualifications, extensive industry knowledge and a distinguished career. Yet none of these things, by themselves, demonstrate value.

They demonstrate what the individual brings into the Boardroom.

They do not demonstrate what becomes better because that person is there.

A company can have an impressive Board and still fail. It can have experienced directors, excellent financial information and respected management, yet somehow fail to recognise the signals of decline until the options for doing something about them have narrowed dramatically.

How can an apparently excellent Board sit above a failing company and not see it?

This book explores that question.

It is not another book about the formal duties of directors or the mechanics of corporate governance. Those subjects matter, but they do not fully answer a more fundamental question:

What makes a Board Member genuinely valuable?

The answer lies in the quality of judgement a director helps create.

That requires the ability to SEE reality, UNDERSTAND what is generating it, THINK strategically, CHALLENGE assumptions and accepted wisdom, INFLUENCE the quality of decisions and ANTICIPATE what may lie ahead.

And then to learn, and see again.

Through the conversations between James and Mr Roth, we explore what it really means to sit around a Board table — including the uncomfortable moments when the Board itself may be part of the problem.

Because a Board seat is not the achievement.

It is the opportunity.

The value comes from what you do with it.
