The Power and Purpose of the Senior Independent Director



The MBS Group is delighted to present our latest white paper: The Power and Purpose of the Senior Independent Director.

Over the past few months, it’s been a privilege to sit down with Senior Independent Directors to discuss what makes a good SID, and the very many nuances, subtleties and inconsistencies associated with the role. After dozens of in-depth conversations, our white paper explores:  

• The current talent landscape 

• The key responsibilities of a SID  

• The characteristics of a good SID  

• The crucial considerations for Chairs when appointing a SID  

The role of the SID rarely receives appropriate attention or scrutiny, and we hope this publication will play some part in rectifying this.  You can read the full report here.
