In our latest Board Agenda podcast we interview John Allan, chair of Tesco’s board and one of the UK’s foremost corporate leaders, for his insights on the role of non-executive directors, their responsibilities and priorities at time when boards have never been more critical.

We explore key issues for boards during a period of economic uncertainty; how the pandemic has influenced board decision-making; and the questions non-executives should be asking senior management.

And as one of the winners of this year’s Sunday Times Non-Executive Director Awards, he shares his thoughts on the vital contribution that NEDs can make and why boards should consider nominating them for the awards.
