# Board Diversity Deepens Discussion and Sharpens Judgment, Singapore Study Finds

A Council for Board Diversity and Egon Zehnder study of 170 Singapore-listed directors finds 92% now treat board diversity as a deliberate, defined strategy, broadening experience and expertise to strengthen oversight and decision-making. For SEA boards it reframes diversity from a compliance box-tick into a measurable driver of better boardroom deliberation.
