Building Competent Boards: Stewards of the Future

Helle Bank Jorgensen is the CEO of Competent Boards, which offers
the much praised global online ESG Competent Boards Certificate and
Designation Program, with a faculty of over 150 renowned
international board members, executives and experts. Launched in
Davos in 2019, Competent Boards aims to enable board members and
senior management to make better decisions, to “put your broad
vision, your complex aim, your courageous idea into action.” Helle
has a 30-year track record in turning ESG risks into sustainable
and profitable business opportunities and works with many Fortune
500 companies. She serves on numerous influential boards, such as
the World Economic Forum Expert Network for Corporate Governance,
Leadership, and Emerging Multinationals. Recently, she was awarded
the Global Impact Award, and was named as one of “5 people in ESG
to look out for”. Her book, "Stewards of the Future: A Guide for
Competent Boards”, is an Amazon bestseller. This conversation
investigates a range of the top strategic issues affecting
corporations today, including ESGs and SDGs, climate and human
rights, supply chains, anti-corruption, dreams and visions,
geopolitics and technology. Helle is asking what responsible
leaders should be constantly asking themselves: Do you know your
business? Do you know what kills your company? Do you know how to
handle the current 'tsunami of crises' and serve all your
stakeholders like a “steward of the future”? Do you know how to
create an efficient ecosystem? Do you think like an activist? Are
you doing all you can to get all the information you need to move
your company forward in the best possible way? Do you know your
customer's customer? And more.
