The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland Awards Judging panel.

In recent years, diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) have been recognised as essential to organisational success, innovation and societal progress. Yet today, we are witnessing a shift in tone — from political pushback to budget cuts — that risks rolling back hard-won gains. This Branch event will explore why DEI remains vital, not just as a moral imperative but as a driver of resilience, competitiveness, and trust in a volatile global environment.

Who really holds the power in the boardroom? Who asks the hard questions? And who sees what everyone else misses?

Gain practical tools and techniques to help you manage competing priorities, organise workloads effectively, and remain productive under pressure. You will learn how to prioritise, focus, and create sustainable systems that enhance productivity and deliver better outcomes.
