... for the busy director that wants to keep up to date with new developments in today's fast changing world. My experience with the journal as an academic who is close to the real challenges faced by directors, is that of a friendly and sharp editorial team seeking articles that are to the point, relevant and often research based. As a reader, I find the Governance Journal a source of information and ideas to explore in research and apply in practice."

... and developments on corporate governance around the world supported by thought pieces on topics that offer insightful perspectives both practical and academic. The monthly journal is independent and is not shy in offering opinions from its contributors which are not always mainstream thinking and which rightly challenge conventional thinking on the evolving structures and frameworks of corporate governance. Governance provides an important source of information useful to board directors, governance practitioners and advisers, corporate secretaries, lawyers, academics and others advancing good governance practices. Congratulations to the Governance team on the occasion of your 21st year of existence which in itself is a strong testimony to the quality and insights offered by the journal over this period.

... often has its root causes in issues of governance. Though, historically, governance has been the poor relation compared to other more noticeable areas of regulation, one of the reasons we notice governance in the UK more often nowadays is due in no small measure to the work - from thought-leadership to debate via shaping legislation – of Governance. It’s unofficial but important role in educating and informing key decision makers by covering such a comprehensive and varied range of topics in every edition including emerging trends and international best practice make it a true leader in its field but often also ahead of its time. Articles are regularly thought provoking as well as making a very real contribution to the debate on the best way forward to improve governance and across all sectors too. There is always something of interest to discover or discover anew in any edition of this highly relevant specialist publication. Congratulations to Lesley and the team on your twenty-first anniversary and best wishes for the future. Given the various crises in governance affecting us all the issues covered by the journal have never been more important to discuss, debate and act upon.”

... - or using current governance terminology being resilient and agile over the last two decades! I am amazed to find that I have been on the editorial panel for such a length of time. Over that period of time there have been huge changes in the Governance field including: 1) The increased recognition of the importance of culture and values 2) Board composition (including board diversity), independent directors and risk management - 21 years ago the Higgs report had not been published 3) Stewardship issues 4) ESG - 21 years ago corporate reporting initiatives integrating ESG had not yet occurred 5) Scandals or crises - we had not experienced the many corporate governance scandals or the Global Financial crisis The list goes on and on. In all of the above cases Governance Publishing have provided an expert commentary on all of these changes which I have found to be invaluable. I wish Governance Publishing continued success in the coming decades!"
