Our Boards and Executive Teams are the backbone of our organisations, playing a crucial role in co-creating strategy and shaping the culture that defines our success.

As your organisation evolves over time, does your Board and Executive Team take time to reflect on their own relationship and its influence on good governance?

Delivering on the aspirations of your key stakeholders, and achieving the social impact that you long for, requires synergy and alignment. How often do your Board/Executive Team ask themselves if they are in the best possible position to:

Meet the demands and challenges that can accompany change;
Make bold changes when needed;
Embrace contemporary design thinking and flexibility in how Boards are formed and reviewed;
Realistically assess the achievability of expectations set;
Create a level of visibility around the support and influence you provide back to your organisation and the community?

And how well defined are the roles and responsibilities across your Board/Executive Team? Are they enablers to high performance?

This workshop will provide a valuable opportunity for you to step outside your everyday demands, reflect on the shifting roles and consider realignment of your Board/Executive Team, so it is well positioned for your emerging future.

Expertly facilitated by Leadership Space and followed by an Expert Panel discussion on what a thriving Board/Executive Team does - and doesn’t - look like. You’ll take away a host of practical tools and ideas to renegotiate the relationship dynamic.

Ideal for Board Chairs, Directors, CEOs, and Senior Executives, the workshop is even more impactful when attended by multiple team members.
