“The problems that face our world are so complex and difficult that we will need all the talent available to solve them.” We wrote those words in the preface of our first book, A Woman’s Place is in the Boardroom, in 2005, and reiterated them in the second, A Woman’s Place is in the Boardroom: The Roadmap. Writing in early 2008, we noted that the complex problems facing our world were proliferating, and gave as examples the “July bombings” in London and many other acts of terrorism worldwide; the increasing pressure on the world’s resources; the potential impact of climate change; the credit crunch; political, social and economic.
