While nearly three-quarters of 181 directors polled last week by Corporate Board Member believe the Silicon Valley Bank board failed in its ability to prevent the bank’s failure, 97% said their own board’s risk oversight includes discussion (at the board or committee level, or both) of the risks that can arise from the deteriorating health of key suppliers and partners such as banks and lenders, and 94% percent said their oversight includes discussion of a “worst case scenario” with management and the adjustments that would need to be made if conditions shifted suddenly. A majority of respondents were highly confident that their board’s collective skill sets could respond to customer, financial, legal / compliance, and people risk crises; however, directors were less confident about their ability to confront cyber, IT, and supply chain risk crises, and least confident with respect to a cyber risk crisis.
