For the first time in the history of the Internet, ICANN (the non-profit organization which runs the Internet) has approved the release of up to 1,000 new generic top level domains such as .yourbrand or .restaurants to anyone who wants to apply for one. There are already hundreds of declared applicants and more joining the list every day. While it is costly to obtain a new top level domain, likely at least $500,000 for the first year, they will need to protect their existing .com and brand in an exponentially increasing Internet world.

This rapidly changing new regime of the Internet will impact the hundreds of millions of Internet users around the globe, not to mention every business that already has a .com. Largely under the radar of even sophisticated and savvy business executives, when the new Internet launches in late 2012 to early 2013, businesses of all sizes will need guidance on how to respond. Those lucky enough to catch on early and apply for their own top level domain between January and April of 2012 will be in for the biggest paradigm shift since the Internet began and potentially capitalize on the next channel of the Internet. In desperate need of attention and study, this book is sure to fly off the shelves when the new Internet is launched.

Wolfe and co-author, Anne Chasser, interviewed executive leaders from Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Verizon, Time Warner, reMax, Yahoo! Scripps Networks Interactive and leading industry players to identify important trends that continue to unfold. 

Domain Names Rewired was endorsed by Horacio Guiterrez, former General Counsel of Microsoft and now General Counsel at Spotify noting that “Wolfe and Chasser spell out the impact of the new regime on existing internet business models and predict the emergence of new ones. . . . only those who are well prepared for the new environment will succeed.”

No boardroom in any industry is safe from new market threats in this time of rapid technological growth.  We’ve all heard the stories of corruption by CEOs at WeWork and Theranos and witnessed whistleblowers revealing crises at Wells Fargo and Uber.  The board’s responsibility in this time shifts from protecting not just shareholders, but all stakeholders.  Disruption in the Boardroom delves into the details of modern corporations and how governance and oversight can lead us into an evolving digital future.

Corporate culture is changing every day, and everybody at the top – from senior executives of well-funded startups to decades old stalwarts of industries – are being watching more closely than ever.  Disruption in the boardroom calls for leaders to embrace intellectual honestly, moral courage, and a discipline for continuous learning to order to have good corporate governance. 

Author Jennifer Wolfe addresses questions that hit home for present and future board members, the overarching one being:  how can a handful of people successfully oversee a company and the entirety of its actions?  This book details case studies of past mistakes and lessons from current board members and provides expert insights on how to structure future governance.

Disruption in the Boardroom walks you through stories of both triumphs and errors in crucial decisions made by boards of companies you know well.  Whether you are a senior executive, a corporate board director, or simply a curious reader on the topic of business decisions of the current day, Wolfe’s expertise provides you with invaluable knowledge that you deserve to have on your book shelf.  The “move fast and break things” mentality has disrupted every industry, and it will only continue to shift the way we as a business culture approach the future of work. Don’t fall behind.
