Overview

We hear a lot about the importance of innovation and adaptability in future-proofing organisations. But what does this mean for boards and how do you apply this type of thinking in your governance roles? 

Over the past year, facilitators Pamela Bell and Judith Thompson have been on a journey to bring human-centred mindsets and approaches into governance. You may have read their Design Thinking Governance articles on the IoD website. 

Now you can be part of learning and testing some of the tools and techniques they have been developing. 

The workshop will give you an opportunity to work in small groups, trying out new approaches so you are better prepared for innovative board decision-making.

This is an opportunity to refresh your governance approach in a fun and interactive workshop setting, learning new co-creative approaches and innovative ways to bring your customer’s voice into decision-making around the board table.
