Whoever Controls the Agenda – Controls the Board

  • 24 March 2022 - a 90 minute event

This event is part of the Good Governance Practice series of events. This series of events aims to equip governing bodies, and those that support them, with an understanding of how to establish the right conditions for Good Governance

The Importance of an Annual Board Plan

In today’s increasingly complex world, the pressures and requirements placed on directors are growing exponentially. There are volumes written about the importance of the board’s role in developing, implementing, and then monitoring the organization’s strategy. Yet when it comes to how the board should develop, monitor, and implement their own Annual Board Plan (ABP), through which the board can monitor and make sure it’s focusing on its core roles and what it identifies as critical to the entity, there is little that provides guidance.

 

This webinar considers:

  • Why have an ABP?
  • Controlling the flow of information
  • Developing the plan
  • Looking to the horizon
  • Structuring the board plan agenda
  • Timing
  • Key planning tips
  • Driving director engagement
