About

Laura Georg Schaffner is a leading voice at the intersection of technology and corporate governance, with her research fundamentally reshaping how boards of directors navigate the digital age. Her seminal 2018 work, "Digitalization impacts on corporate governance" (44 citations), introduced the concept of Digitalization Dashboards—a framework of over 30 key performance indicators that empower boards to leverage digital metrics for competitive advantage. Building on this foundation, her 2020 paper "Monitoring AI progress for corporate governance" (13 citations) addresses the transformative challenge of artificial intelligence, which is projected to contribute up to $16 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Schaffner’s research provides critical guidance for boards, owners, and national leaders on how to effectively monitor and govern AI development, ensuring that rapid technological progress serves strategic oversight rather than undermining it. Her work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how corporate governance must evolve to remain relevant in an era of unprecedented digital disruption.
