Drawing on responses from more than 4,000 directors from 60 countries, the 2016 Global Board of Directors Survey explores in depth how directors think and operate. It captures in detail the governance practices, strategic priorities and views on board effectiveness of corporate directors around the world. Spencer Stuart, the WomenCorporateDirectors (WCD) Foundation, Professor Boris Groysberg and doctoral candidate Yo-Jud Cheng of Harvard Business School and researcher Deborah Bell partnered together on the survey, which is one of the most comprehensive surveys of corporate directors around the world.
