The cognitive dimension of governance extends shareholder theories by introducing other resources necessary for the development of the firm: cognitive resources. It is through the board of directors that these resources can be mobilized. Using the resource dependence theory, we consider this contribution in the case of risk management in an innovative context. Our longitudinal case study provides several illustrations. It shows that the Boeing Company has conducted a dynamic approach to the strategic management of the board of director resources for 24 years. In doing so, it gradually deprived itself of a key resource that it sorely lacked in the development of the 787 and 737 MAX programs. The lack of diversity on its board may partly explain the setbacks encountered by the company.

New opportunities are available to trade unions. Labour shortage and inflation provide favourable situations for trade union organizations, allowing them to regain lost ground. Furthermore, in addition to the recent decision of the Quebec Court of Appeal concerning Aluminerie de Bécancour Inc. (ABI) student workers, which recognizes that they cannot be paid less to perform equivalent tasks, recent legislative changes make it more difficult to adopt disparity treatment clauses and require the obligation of equivalent remuneration for agency workers. Recognizing the need for organizational change (the theme of this publication) for the various stakeholders in the labour world, the authors then ask this question: how could trade union organizations seize the opportunity that has arisen? In other words, how could they contribute to reducing job insecurity while ensuring the sustainabilityof organizations? After five decades of "headwinds", the situation is ripe for trade unions to take the offensive again and work to reverse the tide of job insecurity. To achieve this, the fetters of union corporatism must be released, and above all, trade unions must not be complacent with member satisfaction. On the contrary, education, mobilization and security actions are needed to counter the precariousness of the labour market. This favourable situation must also benefit precarious workers; such an opportunity will seldom arise!
