Electronic-BoardroomTMVI® Oxford
Initiative Passes Time Test and Offers Strategic Standards –
June Klein Chosen Again As
Governance Speaker and Book Contributor for Oxford Conference
July
6, 2002 Oxford, U.K. June
R. Klein, CEO of Technology & Marketing Ventures, Inc., was
chosen again as a governance speaker and panel chair for the Oxford
University International Conference. She also continues as a contributor to the
book series published by the Oxford Centre of Business and Educational Values.
Ms. Klein’s approach to blending the electronic-age with traditional governance
in the 21rst Century was previously televised by Oxford University, UK. This Best Practices briefing can be licensed in various media formats
and customized for an Electronic-Boardroom TMVI® TV Segment. The licensing
package will also include The 2002 Standard for Boardroom Success and Tax
Solutions for Technology Transfer. electronic-boardroom.com/IntellectualCapital2go(tm)15.html

At
the 1997 Oxford sessions, Ms. Klein launched the
Electronic-BoardroomTMVI® Model for governing change, complexity and risk as a
methodology to avoid debacles like Enron and Andersen. In applying her
four-pronged analysis to organizational structure and behavior, she identified
that employee complaints may be one of several signs of ethical lapses, even
when a corporation is socially responsible.
Other early warning signs appear by observing various decision tools, such
as changes in ratings from electronic-trading bank credit systems. Further,
borderless cyberspace changes products, machines, devices and culture.
Therefore, boards need to be educated in fundamentally different ways and
behaviors and must be more involved in strategy. Moreover, Ms. Klein
recommended that every audit committee have an information specialist as either a committee member or an independent
advisor. This is because the electronic-age has transformed data gathering, a
process that is critical in helping the board monitor social and ethical
standards as well as perform fiduciary oversight.
At
this year’s Oxford workshop, Ms. Klein will collaborate with others from
around the world to refine the TMVI® survey questions. CEOs and directors can assess
their own firms based on this evolving best practices standard which is
necessary in order to cope with all the dynamics in the 21rst century.
Another
new Electronic-BoardroomTMVI® Solution focused toward creating holistic
stakeholder wealth will be presented by Ira P. Klein, General Counsel of
Technology & Marketing Ventures, Inc. He will discuss How to Maximize Value
by Minimizing Taxes on Technology Transfers.
