In today’s volatile and complex business environment, management and boards cannot afford wasted time, unclear decision rights, or unfocused discussions. Board effectiveness - what Patricia Bood calls Boardroom ROI- depends on the focusing time and attention on high-quality conversations that advance organizational strategy. CLOs play a central role in shaping this ROI by ensuring management brings the board the right issues, with the right information, at the right depth.

CLOs influence Boardroom ROI by driving information quality, clarifying governance roles, restructuring agendas, and ensuring governance frameworks evolve rather than stagnate. When CLOs embed agility into reporting, agenda design, and oversight processes, boards become more focused, directors ask sharper questions, and governance contributes measurable strategic value.

Participants will learn how to:

• Increase the strategic return on boardroom time

• Produce materials that sharpen insight and judgment

• Reallocate board attention toward high-value discussion

• Strengthen decision rights and boundaries, reducing confusion

• Modernize governance processes to support more agility
