In a post-Sarbanes-Oxley world, directors will need to participate more and more in the strategic planning and risk assessment processes. This new title from the CCH Board Perspectives Series, Building Value Through Strategy, Risk Assessment and Renewal, will help boards and management teams work more productively together when dealing with strategy.

Building Value Through Strategy, Risk Assessment and Renewal , written by consultants William J. Hass and Shepherd G. Pryor IV, explores the evolving role of the board and its involvement with strategy, risk and renewal. It helps corporate leaders draw the line between board and management roles and provides action-oriented advice across the full strategic and risk spectrum. A must-read for directors and management, this title takes readers from the beginning of strategy formulation through monitoring the outcomes of execution for both healthy and troubled organizations. Learn from professionals who have been there. Over their careers, the authors have served in different roles: strategic planner, line manager, entrepreneur, turnaround professional, director, board consultant and author.
