This book seeks to chart the technology-fueled changes taking place in the field of corporate governance, and describe the impact these changes are having on boards and the enterprises they govern.  The book also will attempt to describe what the future could look like once companies truly embrace the power of technology to change governance.  Additionally, this book will provide a set of “suggested action steps” for companies and their boards focused on ways they can leverage technology tools to enhance governance immediately. Through a review of the latest governance research, interviews with key thought leaders, and case studies of enterprises that have embraced governance technology, readers will be armed with new insights and approaches they can take to enhance the work of their boards and senior leaders to reach new levels of performance.
