If you are a board member of a public or privately-owned company, or c-suites with direct interaction with your board members, we would like to invite you to participate in this survey to better understand what affects ASEAN boards and directors, in particular, how the role of the board has changed over the past 12 months and what will be the important focus areas for boards in 2024 and beyond apart from business performance and outlook. We hope to also see board effectiveness from the views of those working directly with the board members.

This survey is undertaken by the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) in collaboration with the Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD), Singapore Institute of Directors (SID), Institute of Directors Thailand (IoD Thai), Indonesian Institute of Corporate Directors (IICD), Myanmar Institute of Directors (MIoD), Institute of Corporate Directors, Philippines (ICD Ph), International Business Chamber of Cambodia (IBC) and Darussalam Assets Sdn Bhd under the ASEAN IODs Network initiative. From the insights gained, we hope to support boards and directors in the region to stay ahead of trends and challenges. The 2022 Report is available here.

The survey may take 15 – 20 minutes to complete. Please be assured that your confidentiality will be protected and that we will only analyse the data at an aggregate level. Thank you in advance for your time and contribution to the boards and directors’ community.

The survey will remain open until Friday, 6 October 2023.
