The Role of Advisory Boards in Scaling Governance

ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION

You know you need it. You feel like you cannot afford it. But you know you will not get to the other side without it. Scaling governance in a practical and safe 
way is more than an art - it is a science.

Starting out is tricky, not knowing where ethical and legislative boundaries
are. Who can you trust, what are your options and what are the processes to building a governance structure that is fit for your purpose?

This session will explore the options you have to start-up and scale-up
governance. 

Our panel of advisors and start-up founders will highlight the tips and
pitfalls along the way. Hosted by the Advisory Board Centre, the global professional body of the Advisory Board sector, you will get firsthand knowledge (and secrets) of what to do and not do.
