Leading a session on “The Board as Radar: Governing Risk in an Age of Non-Linear Change” and taking part in the EBRD ’s 2026 Nominee Director Board Practice Conference in London earlier this week was a pleasure.
Organised by Head of Nominee Director Board Practice Justin Robertson and opened by the President of EBRD Odile Renaud-Basso & Head of the Equity Group Dirk Werner, this year’s theme was Board Politics: the relationships, judgement, influence and sometimes friction that shape what actually happens around a board table.
My session looked at the other side of that equation: how boards need to read what is happening outside the room - geopolitics, markets, technology and other non-linear risks - early enough to act rather than react.
A strong day of discussion, with over 300 Chairs, Nominee Directors, and senior bankers around the globe in attendance.
Congratulations Justin Robertson and the EBRD Nominee Director Board Practice team for putting such a powerful couple of days together; and for inviting me to contribute.
