Be your own activist

How boards can develop an activist mindset to drive secure value

Activist investors aren’t a new phenomenon—but recently, the combination of a favorable regulatory environment and an abundance of funds to invest means they’ve become a force to be reckoned with, and now they’re here to stay.

While activists may pursue a range of strategies and tactics, their approaches are often based on a common set of beliefs. As part of the journey to “becoming your own activist,” boards must first understand the views that motivate activists.
