Narrated by: Randye Kaye

An essential guide for board members and executives who need to understand the impact of digital on their thinking and decision making.

Duty of Care: An Executive's Guide for Corporate Boards in the Digital Era offers a much-needed guide for board directors and leaders who need to get up to speed and close their digital knowledge gap in order to make the right decisions about digital technology investment and deployments. Written in easy-to-understand language, this audiobook targets directors and executives who want to protect themselves from risks ranging from massive cyber security breaches to digital infrastructure investment mistakes.

Most board members don't have the information they need to understand digital information systems, modern high-speed networks, and rapidly evolving software and hardware ecosystems. They also don't have the time to seek out or filter what they need from the many diverse sources. Their lack of knowledge can lead to disastrous decisions that can cost shareholders billions of dollars in lost income or risk liability. Written by a globally recognized experienced business executive and expert in cyber security, this essential guide and blueprint can serve the strategic and governance needs of every company.

Good 360 degree tour of emerging issues for firms

The coverage is good, the descriptions are clear, and the pacing is good. Plenty of technologies (and their implications and good use-cases) are explained in solid ways, for the non-technician. And, it is in a compact form -- just a few hours long. This is great value for me.
