# Mastering boardroom communication: five essentials for executives

PwC (Jan 2025) "Mastering boardroom communication: five essentials for executives" by Paul DeNicola and Claudia Montgomery sets out five disciplines for executive-board communication: research board composition and viewpoints (former CFOs, technology experts, industry veterans, investor representatives, other-board service); customise messaging by understanding director preferences for action-oriented summaries versus detail-oriented backup; bridge the perspective gap (43% of executives think AI/GenAI expertise should be added to the board, but only 16% of directors say their boards are adding it); provide focused pre-reads distributed at least a full week prior to the meeting; and leverage committee meetings, workshops and off-cycle touchpoints for technical deep-dives that then summarise to the full board. Direct lever for SEA mid-market CFO/CIO board-prep work.
