Board Excellence in the Age of Rapid Changes: Tailored Strategies for the Modern Board Briefing

Board Briefings for Informed Decision-Making and More

With my experience as the founding Managing Director of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance and involvement in the Canadian Directors’ Education Program, I possess extensive knowledge of effective governance practices and board education. My Board Advisory Services provide a strategic approach to board briefing, delivering concise, relevant, and impactful information. Trust in my expertise to provide excellent board briefings that empower your organization.

Why your organization needs a board briefing

A Board of directors’ responsibilities and duties are constantly evolving. It is an extremely challenging, yet valuable, goal for any board and individual director to go beyond the default rubber stamping and policing function of the standard board. Consider the impact of the digital tsunami. For instance, Google estimates that half the businesses on the S&P 500 will be gone in eight years.  The digital tsunami is one of many rapidly accelerating hot topics that effective boards must consider in order to operate effectively.

A board briefing is a vital tool for your organization to keep up momentum in making your board of directors informed on its performance, financial situation, strategic initiatives, and other essential information in relation to best practices and emerging trends.

By providing regular updates on macro trends and discussing priorities, I will help your board align on your organization’s goals and guide the leadership team. Board briefings can also be used to facilitate decision-making and ensure compliance with strategy, legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements. In short, board briefings help keep your board informed, engaged, and able to support your organizational or business leadership.

  • Harnessing the power of social media and modern communication while managing associated risks.
