Non-Executive Director Research Results 2022

This Research, conducted at our NED Forum, provides a fascinating insight into the challenges Boards, Chairs and Non-executives are facing around leadership capability, ESG and improving the quality of strategic debate at the top table.

Key findings from Criticaleye's NED Research:

NEDs are seeking inspiration and fresh thinking from other sectors
67% say there is full alignment between the Chair, CEO and CFO on strategy
Almost half (49%) of Boards don't benchmark strategy externally
41% of NEDs expect their next CEO to be an internal appointment
Measurement, analytics and performance is the biggest sustainability challenge
Leadership capability is a top priority for Boards
