Recent high-profile cases across Asia have cast a spotlight on the evolving demands of governance in an era shaped by AI, digitisation and fractured geopolitics. While incidents like Boeing (2024) and Evergrande (2024) serve as cautionary tales, they also signal the urgency to redefine board roles for a new era.
