If I had a dollar for every time questions of board effectiveness and how to drive performance from the boardroom has been discussed in my hearing, I'd be well off. My role in answering these questions will continue in Sydney at the end of the month.
  • The organisers of the Governance Institute of Australia annual conference (28–29 November) have invited me to be a panelist alongside Simon Pordage and Amanda Wilson. I am looking forward to serving the Australian board and governance community in this way. The topic that the panel will be wrestling with, "The pursuit of productivity", promises for a lively discussion!
  • Following the conference, I will remain in Sydney for two days (30 November and 1 December) for private meetings with directors, boards and other leaders. If you would like to meet to explore good corporate governance; how to respond to emerging challenges in your business; or, the results of my latest research and the implications for more effective board practice, I'd be delighted to sit with you. Please get in touch to schedule a meeting.
