Corporate Governance and Digital Transformation argues that these are essential domains in organisations in the current digital era that must be aligned and require more dedication and digital expertise within the Board of Directors of any organisation.
In many organisations, the focus of the Board of Directors is still mainly on managing risks with respect to digital transformations instead of prioritising and governing digital transformation business opportunities as well. Additionally, many non-executive directors still have limited knowledge of technology innovations and lack sufficient time for governing digital transformations. To ensure adequate corporate governance of digital transformations, organisations need to appoint non-executive directors with digital capabilities, besides their general management experience. This book outlines what those capabilities should be and what options are available for Board of Directors to improve their corporate governance. It also demonstrates how a crossover approach between the two is crucial for achieving success. The book draws upon the authors’ non-executive experience, their own research surveys, interviews and round tables with participation of non-executive and executive directors from many Boards of Directors in one- and two-tier boards and across various market segments.
With a global focus, Corporate Governance and Digital Transformation will find an appreciative audience among academics, MBA students and advanced undergraduate students, as well as being a useful reference for practitioners including executive and non-executive directors in both private and public organisations.
An essential read for today’s business world, this book shows how digital transformation disrupts the economy and reshapes corporate governance. Built on solid academic research and rich with practical guidance, it uniquely equipes board members (executives as well as non-executives) and business scholars to translate technological and strategic implications into resilient, future-ready corporate governance practices.

Without digital governance, digital ambition remains only an intention. Digital transformation is the critical success factor and the foundation for performance and scalability. At the same time, digital governance helps organizations to manage risks in a timely manner and capture opportunities in a targeted way. This book shows, through concrete and tangible examples, how to put digital governance into practice. A resourceful book for non-executives and board members in this digital era.

Corporate Governance and Digital Transformations is a timely and highly useful contribution to the governance literature because it treats digital transformation as a board-level stewardship challenge rather than simply a technical or managerial one.
The authors move further into the design of governance itself. Their proposals around the Information Technology & Innovation committee and the Digi-Dashboard, offer boards a practical architecture for sustained engagement with digital transformation. Overall, this is a constructive book that broadens the conversation to continuous governance of digital transformation as a strategic domain for both scholars and practicing (non-)executive board members who want to move from reactive oversight toward informed digital stewardship.

This great book offers new perspectives on how governance must adapt for the age of AI, quantum, and digital transformation. Leaders will learn how to strengthen governance through structured oversight, including IT and innovation committees. Embedding digital expertise in the Board of Directors accelerates success while managing risk. This is what we need. A must-read for current and aspiring non-executive board members. It is a unique, one-of-a-kind book, I highly recommend it.
