Not surprisingly, technology is critical to the success of today’s businesses. As a result, CIOs, CISOs and other senior IT leaders are increasingly being asked to brief their organization’s Board of Directors on IT topics.

This recent whitepaper from Protiviti’s Board Perspectives series helps board members get appropriate insights into IT topics while recommending how IT leaders can more effectively communicate complicated topics.
SYNOPSIS: When directors are briefed on IT matter, do they fully understand the message? Or is the message so complex that it gets lost?
