In the autumn of 2024, Corporate Board Member partnered with Diligent Institute and FTI Consulting to survey more than 200 directors of publicly traded companies in the US on what’s on the board agenda for the year ahead and what they perceive to be the main priorities in the short term.

The survey found that 76% of US directors were prioritising growth opportunities in 2025, a sharp turnaround from the past few years’ focus on cost-cutting measures.
