Overview of the webinar

Boards of directors are vital to companies, but were never designed to actually do anything functional. Now though, boards worldwide are expected to serve as active, hand’s- on fiduciaries who monitor performance, set strategy, and assure compliance.  None of these are jobs that boards do well. Our programs offer best practices from around the world that can quickly help your board gain the edge it needs to perform effectively.  

You’ll view your board meetings through fresh eyes, seeing countless ways to be more efficient, better informed, better organized and more productive. Your board agendas will go from being a rote checklist to become a governance power tool. You’ll cut boredom and wasted time, and learn how to focus on what your board must do. You’ll spend less time irrelevant processes, and gain more time for board strategic discussion.
