| Description | The research used a Grounded Theory approach to investigate the relationship between Board level Directors and the information they utilise to make decisions. Grounded Theory (GT) method was selected to enable the researcher to take a non-traditional view of corporate governance (CG); that being said, GT is a growing method within CG research. Nonetheless, this research aimed to identify the underlying problem that Board level Directors have in relation to the information they receive. This issue was identified as their ability to balance time available with the amount of information received. A two by two perception grid was developed to clarify how Directors engaged with the information, which has the dimensions a of risk and complexity. Directors, both as individuals and as a group, are identified as managing the information in one of four ways; • Low Risk/Low Complexity; scanning the information if time allows • Low Risk/High Complexity; listen to presented report • High Risk/Low Complexity; discuss in Board meeting • High Risk/High Complexity; create Ad Hoc working group to manage issue The creation and use of Ad Hoc working groups provides a new, and novel, area of research. |
| Exploitation Route | The research identified that a change in policy is required to provide transparency for the stakeholders in relation to the Ad Hoc committees. |

| Results and Impact | As part of the NCSC's annual conference I presented my research in relation to its application in cyber. According to the NCSC's website "CYBERUK In Practice will attract 1200+ technology and cyber security professionals from across the public sector, Critical National Infrastructure, Industry and Academia". The specific track was Track 4 "Whole System Security - Advanced approaches to security analysis and management, drawing on risk, modelling and learning from engineering practices". The session was entitled "TECHIES SPEAK GERMAN, MANAGEMENT SPEAK FRENCH - WHY COMMUNICATION IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH CYBER SECURITY" and was attended by 160 participants.
