Effective ways to increase board performance and corporate growth

Overview

How do we best engage with the board and improve organisational effectiveness?

The Board works as an effective team, using the appropriate balance of knowledge, skills, experience, and backgrounds to make informed decisions. Proper board structure guides a company’s strategy and facilitates strategic decision making. This makes sure that the business makes decisions promptly and keeps responsibility in check.

In this engaging interactive session, we will discuss areas such as:

  • Improving information flows to the board
  • Optimising meetings and reviewing committees
  • Engaging board members and improving board relationships
  • Defining board roles, reviewing skills and succession planning

Join us for this valuable seminar that will provide practical insights into board effectiveness, as well as socialising with governance industry peers through networking drinks. Doors open at 17:30 for a 18:15 session start.
