The craft of board work: Northern tour

The passing of the Covid pandemic has been a great relief for many; boards of directors are no exception. Several weeks ago, I visited Sydney, Australia to meet with directors, boards and leaders of membership bodies. The feedback was clear: if companies (and through them, economies and societies) are to prosper, boards need to start thinking strategically again. Last week, more grist to the mill. During a successful visit to Bengaluru, India to lead a Board Immersion Programme for a globally-known FMCG company, the question of how boards can add value was front-of-mind throughout.

Today, I'm delighted to announce my first post-Covid visit to the United Kingdom and Europe, to continue the advisory work there.

From November 16th through 25th, I will visit the UK, several EU countries, and elsewhere as required, to respond to requests to speak, and to help boards respond well as they pursue sustainable business performance. This includes:

• Advisory sessions (individual board and executive team)
• Keynote talk on sustainability issues
• Half-day immersion workshop to consider modern governance practices
• Confidential briefings on emerging issues
• Guest lecture to post-graduate students

Do you want to meet in November? Regardless of whether you have a specific request or a general question, please get in touch. I'll respond promptly with some suggestions for your consideration.
