5.9 One-tier board alternative inspiration for further discussion

I hope that the Act introducing the alternative of a one-tier board will be an occasion for boards of Dutch companies to internally review their practice of corporate governance regularly and to find criteria how to test the way they operate and how to introduce improvements for what they find lacking and to strenghten what they find is working well. Often, an alternative helps to rethink current practice. Looking at foreign practices can equally inspire appreciation of the strenghts of the current system and thoughts as to improvements.
