Evolving Board Roles across Business Complexity Levels PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 53-slide Value-Driven Boards - Frameworks, Models and Tools PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework illustrating the evolving role of boards in strategic decision-making across different business contexts. It categorizes these contexts into 4 distinct levels: Simple, Complicated, Complex, and Chaotic. Each level reflects a corresponding increase in the board's contribution to strategy, moving from basic oversight to more collaborative and integrative roles.
The vertical axis indicates the board's role in strategy, while the horizontal axis represents the business context. As one moves from left to right, the complexity of the business environment increases, necessitating a shift in how boards engage with strategy. In the Simple context, boards primarily focus on supervision, ensuring compliance and basic governance. As the context becomes Complicated, boards begin to support management, offering insights and guidance without direct involvement in strategy formulation.
In the Complex environment, the board's role evolves further into co-creation, where collaboration with management becomes essential. This level emphasizes the need for boards to actively participate in shaping strategic initiatives. Finally, in the Chaotic context, the board's contribution peaks, requiring a dynamic and responsive approach to strategy development. Here, boards must navigate uncertainty and rapidly changing conditions, underscoring the importance of adaptability and proactive engagement.
The slide also includes a note emphasizing that unlike mere supervision, the time boards dedicate to supporting and co-creating strategy varies significantly across these contexts. This insight is crucial for organizations aiming to optimize board effectiveness in alignment with their specific business challenges.
This slide is part of the Value-Driven Boards - Frameworks, Models and Tools PowerPoint presentation.
