Hi Trainers
A big thank you for being part of the webinar today – part 1.
Here are some resources that will give you more background.
Is there are process to follow when working with Boards? Yes. My process is only one suggestion – there would be several approaches you can take depending on your intention.
Gina’s process starts with pre-meeting
Pre-meeting (shared in today’s webinar) : this should take no more than 2 hours of your time. You want key information, not the detail.
– Understand the landscape in which the Board functions – internal and external
– Who is who on the Board and the senior management team, how connected are they (find out on LinkedIn)
– what change has happened at the Board level and c-suite
– what language is being used in comms e.g. website. You will get an idea of VL too.
– peruse Annual Reports (most are on website). If publicly listed company, go to
– what strategic challenges/opportunities are current or likely
– what questions arise for you after conducting the pre-meeting research
pre-meeting is getting a picture about the landscape so that you have resources to help you a) preframe and b) reframe. Remember that you have so many techniques you can use!
If you are interested in companies on the ASX, have a look at https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/trade-our-cash-market/directory
Eventhough this website provides details about the Australian companies shares – just go to information about Directors and contact details. This link also gives info about what sector the company operates in – this is good if you want to hone in on a specific industry. You will also see the market value of the company. If you are really tuned into the ASX companies – have a look at what happens with the shares – tells a story.
Want more resources from AICD – have a look at this. https://aicd.companydirectors.com.au/advocacy/research/2020-nfp-governance-and-performance-study
If you are in Perth and want to do a bit of networking to see what it’s like to mingle with Directors/Chairs/Members here is a networking meeting https://aicd.companydirectors.com.au/events/events-calendar/wa/ev156612-director-briefings
The ACNC is the national regulator of charities. If you want to find out if the Not For Profit organisation has any regulatory issues https://www.acnc.gov.au BTW, if there are any regulatory issues, that’s an opportunity.
