  • Rewiring the Board: Rethinking the Role of Non Executive Directors
    Feb 19 2026

    Governance Watch explores whether the traditional model of the NED is still fit for purpose in a faster, more complex world. Host Gavin Hinks is joined by Baroness Natalie Evans, chair of the Institute of Directors commission behind a major new report, and Professor Irene-Marie Esser of the University of Glasgow, to unpack why boards now need 'rewiring' beyond the post-Higgs era. They argue that independence should mean more than avoiding conflicts of interest, it must also include independence of mind to counter groupthink, strengthen challenge, and improve governance in practice. The conversation covers why conservative recruitment and over-reliance on traditional pipelines can leave boards under-skilled for today’s risks (from technology and cyber to geopolitics and sustainability), and why NEDs may need deeper engagement with the organisation, better information flows, and stronger support to add strategic value. With 'curiosity' as the standout call to action, the episode offers a practical blueprint for board leaders looking to improve effectiveness, culture, and long-term decision-making.

  • The State of DEI in UK Boards; Progress, Pushback and Possibility
    Feb 6 2026

    Governance Watch, the podcast from Board Agenda in association with Nasdaq Governance Solutions, explores how the corporate landscape is responding to growing pressures around diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). In this episode, we’re joined by Doyin Atewologun, CEO of Delta Alpha Psi, steering committee member of the Parker Review, and honorary professor at Exeter Business School, to discuss the current state of DEI in UK boardrooms. Drawing on her academic and advisory work, Doyin reflects on the uneven but real progress made in representation, the importance of inclusion as everyday practice, and the growing tension between symbolic gestures and substantive change. She offers insight into the psychological spillover from shifting US policy, the challenge of performative allyship, and the quiet retreat by some companies in response to perceived reputational risks. For organisations still committed to progress, Doyin stresses the need for intentional action, accountability, and inclusive governance that is embedded into board culture—not sidelined. With optimism tempered by realism, this episode is essential listening for board members, executives and governance professionals navigating the complex and evolving DEI agenda.
