Knowing Your Board Members

Most struggles between Boards and CEOs revolve around three key issues: power, profile or money. The most challenging issue is always finances.

When an organisation is in trouble financially, all the attention and resources of the Board will be focused on budgets, cash flow projections and approval of expenditure. At a time like this, lack of common goals or poor communications can spell disaster for both the executive and the organisation. This is precisely when the organisation needs to have its Executive focusing on turning it around.

In this entertaining presentation, Leisa Donlan FSAE, President, Australian Society of Association Executives, will discuss strategies to help Association Executives manage the process of dealing with challenging Board personalities from minor problems through to executives under threat.

11.00am – 11.45am

Strategic Thinking

The strength of an organization is largely determined by its strategic thinking capacity. This capacity enables an organization to perform in times of change and under pressure.

If you would like to build your capacity to think strategically, guide your Board through an annual strategy formulation process and align your organization around a common language and model of strategy, then this seminar is for you.
