1 The 2022 Gartner View From the Board of Directors Survey was conducted to understand how boards of directors (BoDs) will address the risk from economic and political volatility and a multipolar world, and their intent to convert digital acceleration to digital momentum. The survey also helps understand the impact of the key societal issues that took center stage during the pandemic on BoDs’ strategy and investment approaches. The survey was conducted online from May through June 2021 among 273respondents from the U.S., Europe and Asia/Pacific. Companies were screened to be midsize, large or global enterprises. Respondents were required to be a board director or a member of a corporate BoD. If respondents serve on multiple boards, they answered for the largest company, defined by its annual revenue, for which they are a board member.The survey was developed collaboratively by a team of Gartner analysts and Gartner’s Research Data, Analytics and Tools team.
