The Definitive Resource for Director Education in 2025

The first step to learning is recognizing what you don’t know—and, to their credit, many boards acknowledge their own challenges when it comes to addressing these issues. PwC’s Annual Corporate Directors Survey found that:

• Fifty-eight percent (58%) said the directors on their boards did not consistently understand ESG.  

• Only 50% said they had sufficient information from management on the company’s response to the risks associated with using AI and GenAI. 

• Fifty-seven percent (57%) have not discussed their companies’ stances on social issues such as political divisiveness, immigration policy, and economic inequality.

For these reasons and more, continuing education plays an important part in the professional development of directors.
