Abstract: Abstract Chapter 17 offers the research team’s view on how the chair’s role and function in Europe will evolve in the next decade. The changes will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but their impact will be felt across multiple dimensions. In ten years there will be (a few) more female chairs in European companies than there are today and the average age of the chair will fall (slightly). “Celebrity chairs”—people chairing many boards thanks to their personal prestige—will disappear. External pressures on chairs will increase and their work will intensify. Technology will actively move into the boardrooms of Europe and become one of the main tools of the chair’s trade.
