We speak with Patrick Dunne about the recent history of boards and the development that has taken place over the last two decades. We examine the sustainability component of modern corporate governance and Patrick shares some interesting but also concerning facts about the social standing of boards. He further introduces the second edition of his award-winning book ‘Boards’ and talks through his educational projects, and people he looks up to.
