The Entrepreneurial Board: Governance under Disruption – Erika Lucas
How entrepreneurial is your board? When was the last time you checked to see how entrepreneurial your board really is? Join us as we talk to Erika Lucas about the entrepreneurial skills and qualities that got us to launch and scale, but often fade away if we don’t continue to condition them.
Transformational Knowledge & Mindshifts – Randy Black
The need for organisations to truly transform themselves is greater today than perhaps ever before. The cumulative effect of the global Covid-19 pandemic have been as dramatic as the impact of the steam engine on manufacturing, the invention of the telephone on communications, the invention of the car on transportation, the creation of the Internet on information sharing, and 9/11 on travel security.
Many organisations have embraced this transformation as an opportunity, rather than waiting on the sidelines for the status quo of 2019 to return. Those who are simply going through the motions may find themselves becoming the “buggy-whip companies” of the past left behind by new technologies and new ways of working. True transformation begins in the boardroom. It begins with directors evolving their view, their skills, and not allowing their legacy to hinder them from creating a new tomorrow.
