And there you have it: before many of us realised, the solar equinox has passed once more—that moment when the sun passes the celestial equator and winter (or, for those in the global south, summer) beckons.
The equinox also signals the recommencement of on-the-ground contributions in the Northern Hemisphere. To wit, I shall be in the United Kingdom and Switzerland soon—from 2nd through 13th October, in fact. My programme sees me in London, Leeds, Cambridge, Zurich and St. Gallen, for a variety of contributions:
  • ​meetings with boards, directors and colleagues;
  • a private luncheon with a doyen of corporate governance;
  • two conferences (EIASM 20th anniversary workshop on corporate governance, in St. Gallen; and, the IBEM thought leadership conference, in London);
  • delivery of two keynotes and a guest lecture; and,
  • some quiet time writing.
I am looking forward to hearing the heartbeat of company directors, advisors and others, to understand recent developments and emerging trends, and to discern changes since I visited earlier this year.
I have intentionally held space available for a few informal meetings. So, if you want to meet up while I am in your neighbourhood—be it to discuss the work and impact of boards, corporate governance, or some other topic of interest—do get in touch. I would be delighted to hear from you.
