Why Malaysian Boards and Directors Need to Step Up or Step Out

“Boards are never static. They should be agile. They should be refreshed every now and then. And they should be diverse.” Michele Kythe Lim, Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM)

Enterprise Explores why Malaysian boards and directors need to step up or step out in an era of escalating risks with Michele Kythe Lim, President and CEO of the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM).

We’ll start with the organisation's mandate, before discussing the top themes and trends impacting companies, boards, and directors. We’ll then shift the conversation over to the critical roles that board members need to play today, as well as the importance of effective board-management dynamics, the significance of progressive board architecture and culture, the challenges of ESG and sustainability, and overall, the crucial changes needed at the board level to elevate Malaysian companies.
