What is a Digital Director? Does your board need a Digital Director? Part II

There clearly has been an uptick in boards interested in adding digital expertise, but that task is not without challenges. Pinning down the specific digital skills a board requires is an essential first step. In this post , I postulate and explore how companies — particularly large ones with legacy technology — can recruit the most relevant digital talent and reap the benefit of this added expertise.

A digital director should be actively involved in a day-to-day role that enables him or her to remain current on business-related technological developments. A d igital expert on the board has to first satisfy all the basic require ments for a director: someone senior in stature, able to operate at both a tactical and strategic level, and ethical beyond reproach .

M ake sure the director shares the board’s view of the role of the board and the boundaries between governance and management.

Also, beyond the specific digital experience sought,...
