The NACD’s “Directors Should Prepare to Address Five Board Dilemmas in 2025” suggests sound considerations and guidance for boards tasked with: (i) appropriate balancing of risks and opportunities; (ii) determining whether, when, and how to engage on social and political issues; (ii) adhering to a long-term strategy in the face of short-term pressures and developments; (iv) effectively managing time and resources in the context of an expanded board remit; and (v) balancing the board’s need for specialized expertise with broad-based experience.The piece is part of the NACD’s 2025 Governance Outlook: Preparing for Risk, Taking Opportunity, available by topic here, which also addresses balancing innovation and security; AI governance; reputational risk oversight; audit committee effectiveness; climate change governance; crisis preparedness using scenario planning; and interview-informed institutional investor insights.
