Board malfunction

Why do Boards not operate as efficiently as they should and what can be done about it?

Why do Boards not operate as efficiently as they should and what can be done about it?

Join the debate and attend an interactive Develop opportunity with IoD course tutor Jean Pousson.

Boards, like families, can be dysfunctional, but how do you manage that dysfunction? What strategies and techniques can be applied to improve Board performance.

Jean will touch upon the interpersonal and communication skills which should be employed to critique, question and query Board approach, delivery and interaction with colleagues and stakeholders.

Jean Pousson has to date worked in over 34 countries and in a typical year will interface between 600 to 800 directors and around 8 to 10 Boards. In addition to his work for the Institute of Directors Jean has overseen over 100 Board Effectiveness Reviews over the last 10 years.

Jean is the course tutor for Strategy for Leadership one of the modules in the Certificate in Company Direction. We we are delighted he is able to host an evening event whilst visiting the island.

CPD Certificates will be available.

Refreshments and networking will follow the presentation.
