In this episode, Mark Banicevich talks to Shamubeel Eaqub about changing social demographics, and how they could impact a business. He asks how a strong board can prepare for these types of changes, and asks about the demographic trends that are likely to impact New Zealand businesses over the next few decades. They discuss the uncertainty of change, and how a board can manage this uncertainty. Mark asks what type of information the board expect from management to keep ahead of change. He also asks what advice he would give to a new director who wants to bring a contrarian view to the boardroom.
