Christopher O.H. Williams (board director, ex-Nike/adidas/Gap) ranks the Summit — 'My favorite mainstage talk was by Eric Ries'

A corporate governance specialist and board director writes up his fifth Directors Summit, the one he almost skipped and calls his best yet, and singles out Eric's session from a mainstage that also held Sheila Bair and Ian Bremmer. What he takes from it is the foundation-owned and mission-locked structures, and he reads the talk as an argument for governance designed to outlast the people in the room.

“My favorite mainstage talk was by Eric Ries on his new book, "Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great", and how foundation-owned and mission-locked companies stay true to their purpose over the long term. It was a powerful case for governance built to last.” — Christopher O.H. Williams on LinkedIn
