Corporate governance failures are a familiar part of modern capitalism in the U.S. and abroad today. Many of these boards were more or less doing what boards everywhere were doing and according to the best practices of the time. And yet, each failure begat a new solution, usually focused on the board. Despite numerous reforms, too many boards are still broken. We argue that boards fail because they are comprised exclusively of human beings. Accordingly, we have in mind outsourcing the board of directors’ functions to a separate entity. We call the separate entities that would offer other firms board services “board service providers” (BSPs).
