Strategy: Within board powers
The standard wording in most constitutions is similar to Replaceable Rule s198A, which states:
!
The business of a company is to be managed by or under the direction of the directors.

Strategy: A core board function
At board level, there was little, if any, analysis of the future strategy of the company. Indeed, the company’s strategy was not documented and it is quite apparent to me that a member of the board would have had difficulty identifying any grand design. If the HIH board discussed strategy at all, it was in the context of an annual budget meeting. But budget sessions are generally about numbers, and there is no indication that the board seriously grasped the opportunity to analyse the direction in which the company was heading. !
Owen from HIH Royal Commission
