 G-TERM VALUE IN A SHORT-TERM WORLD\n\nMay 17th 9 – 11:45am\n\nDo corpora
 tions systematically take too short a view and not invest\nfor the long te
 rm? This question continues to be the primary focus for\nall stakeholders.

 l required to adopt and commit to its\nstrategic plan for in the long term
 . This session will cover the\nexchange needed in today’s boardroom to e

 AKING DATA A BOARD AGENDA ISSUE\n\n11:45 – 1:45pm\n\nIn a recent Deloitt
 e poll of Fortune 500 CEOs\, the rapid pace of\ntechnological change was v
 oted the single biggest challenge facing\ncompanies\, with 67% of responde
 nts saying they consider their company\nto be a technology company. This r
 esponse is striking given that less\nthan 10% of Fortune 500 companies are
  designated as being in the\ntechnology sector. Yet\, there’s an even mo
 re fundamental\ndifferentiator that will play a critical role in how compa
 nies\neffectively compete in the decade to come: getting the right data\,\
 nextracting insights from that data\, and identifying the platforms on\nwh
 ich data can be used strategically. In short\, every company should\nconsi
 der itself a data company. Directors have a leading role to play\nin helpi
 ng executives look to future risks and opportunities. Asking\nthe right qu
 estions means understanding that some of the greatest\nrisks may not be on
  the balance sheet\, but some of the greatest\nsources of value may not be
  on the bal­ance sheet either.\n\nSubject Matter Experts:\n\n * Murugan A
