More than 150 senior leaders from across Denmark gathered in Copenhagen this week for the 10th anniversary event of the Danish Chapter of Women Corporate Directors. Alongside our partners, Kromann Reumert, we brought together more than 25 panelists and roundtable hosts, as well as over 125 senior female executives, who together hold more than 400 board mandates. Our audience, which also included 25 international executives living and working in Denmark, discussed the impact of AI in the C-Suite and boardroom, and shared practical insights on how this technology can be deployed across their organisations. Our speakers included Nanna-Louise Linde, vice president of European Government Affairs at Microsoft, who shared her perspectives from her work at the EU and corporate level. She was joined virtually by Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft, who set out his viewpoint on the intersection between technology and society. In addition, a panel discussion featured contributions from Malou Aamund, Carsten Egeriis, Klaus Holse, and Natasha Friis Saxberg, who explained how they use AI across their executive teams. We also heard from Jens Bjørn Andersen, who delivered to call to action on AI from his leadership perspective. The event also considered the issue of diversity in Danish boardrooms. Our own Petra Helfferich presented the latest data from Spencer Stuart’s Nordic Board Index and explained that while some progress has been made, there remains much to do before true boardroom diversity is achieved: https://lnkd.in/eXmAeRQC “In the ten years that the WCD events have been taking place in Denmark, there has never been a stronger group gathered together for these discussions,” said Petra. “That so many senior leaders joined us reflected AI’s ever-increasing presence in C-Suite discussions. It was an honour to bring together so many senior leaders and help facilitate dialogue around these important issues.” #WCDDenmark

Awesome panel for this important board level discussion!

A diverse and inclusive Board of Directors fosters better decision-making, oversight, and governance, particularly during challenging times, resulting in improved performance. This was determined by the Institute of Corporate Directors PH (ICD) in a study of all active publicly listed companies (PLCs) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2019 to 2021, which showed a clear and positive correlation between a company’s Return on Equity (ROE) and the PLC boards' diversity in gender, expertise, and age. So yes, gender is important, but so is age and expertise. Read on to learn more about the study and the Board Diversity Index Tool. #ICDSupportsBoardDiversity
