Following the recent tsunami of regulations, the board of directors today still has a mainly "controlling" function in many companies. Its mission largely focuses on the protection of (minority) shareholders by limiting investment risks and avoiding conflicts of interest. Consequently, a director's duties are still too often limited to monitoring, compliance and risk management. This sometimes seems to be at odds with the organisational flexibility that innovation necessitates.

This raises the question of whether and how the board of directors should redefine its role in the digital age.
