Board Chair Mastery: Crafting Effective Board Meeting Agendas

In today's complex governance landscape, corporate boards face a critical time management challenge. With just 4-6 annual meetings of 4-8 hours each, boards must navigate competing demands from multiple stakeholders while fulfilling their strategic and oversight responsibilities.

Our upcoming webinar addresses how board chairs can strategically manage limited meeting time to maximise board effectiveness.

Key Topics:

• Taking ownership of the agenda as board chair

• Balancing competing priorities from management, auditors, shareholders and other stakeholders

• Strategies for effective time allocation across compliance, performance, strategy, risk management and emerging issues

• Common agenda-setting pitfalls and how to avoid them

Join us to discover proven approaches that successful board chairs use to prioritise effectively and ensure the board's limited time delivers maximum organisational value.
