Corporate Management: Prepared for the Future? Experts See Deficits in Dax Supervisory Boards
An analysis of their CVs reveals that many auditors are not well-versed in future issues. Experts view this critically with a focus on the transformation of the economy.
A study by Marsh, Thomas Tomkos, and the University of Göttingen's management and controlling chair has analyzed the experience and skills of German supervisory board members. The study found that while they have strong classical skills in areas such as corporate governance and risk management, their expertise in future-oriented topics like technology, AI, and cybersecurity is limited.
Only 31% of supervisory board members have digitalization skills, and just 4% have explicit AI expertise. The study examined the publicly available CVs of 1085 supervisory board members from 159 DAX, MDAX, and SDAX companies.
