The pursuit of high board performance

Plans and preparations for my next set of international commitments are coming together well.  I'll be on the road for two-thirds of November to fulfil five speaking engagements; attend two conferences; lead a one-day learning workshop; fulfil two advisory commitments; and, attend a miscellany of meetings. The key dates are:

• ​Sydney (1st & 2nd)
• Wellington (3rd)
• Brussels (5th to 7th)
• London (8th to 10th, and 14th)
• Rochester (13th)
• Vienna (15th to 18th)

A common theme runs through these commitments: the pursuit of high board performance. 

The talks will explore several aspects of board practice including the board's role in strategy; emerging trends;  the mechanism of corporate governance; and, the defining characteristics of an effective director and board. The learning workshop (entitled The effective director) is part of the Governance Institute of Australia's new capability development programme. The conferences are the European Institute of Advanced Studies in Management, in Brussels (I'm presenting a paper), and the Global Peter Drucker Forum,  in Vienna. ​

In case you are wondering, there are still a few gaps in the schedule in each location for additional meetings. Please contact me if you would like to arrange a meeting while I'm in your area.

If you'd like to know more about any of contributions, please get in touch. (Note: As is my normal practice, conference summaries will be posted on this blog soon after each event, so do check back if you are interested).
