Recent studies have shown that Australian boards are not sufficiently aware of the implications of the acceleration of technology into our business landscape. With less than 5% of Australia’s top ASX listed companies have a board with any members with formal IT qualifications.
In 2015, Gartner research was shared indicating that Australia’s corporate leaders view digital primarily as technology concern, rather than a business transformation opportunity.
With digital disruption threatening an increasing number of Australia’s well-known companies, it’s vital that boards are better equipped to manage this threat.
