Event description
Welcome to JCI TOGETHER
For those of you who don't know, JCI Together is a new initiative that we're running, which is a live-streaming event aimed to help JCI members globally survive the COVID-19 crisis.
About this event:
The average age of the most boards is over 60. But, in this hyper-connected, multicultural, digitally enabled and fast-paced world, companies and organisations are crying out for a different type of non-executive director. Different perspectives, new skills and collaborative mindsets are needed to help develop strategies, govern crisis and identify new risks. Boards need you, but are you ready?
In this presentation which has been designed for young leaders, Paul Smith, Founder of the Future Directors Institute and award-winning author of Right Seat Right Table: An Outsider’s Guide to Securing the Ideal Board Role will help you answer these key questions, and more:
- Is the boardroom for me?
- What are boards looking for?
- How do find and secure my ideal value-aligned board role?
