Three current NZRU directors discuss organisational growth – not only the scoreboard and the revenue, but actually what feeds the organisation and the nation – shared values.
As rugby fans gather in Dunedin to get behind the All Blacks ahead of their last match on home soil before taking on the world’s best in France, we have an opportunity to hear from three current directors of the New Zealand Rugby board who will share their thoughts on one of the IoD’s top 5 issues facing directors in 2023: Shared Value.
Sustainable value creation requires that the interests of your people and stakeholders are considered and addressed. The shared value approach aims to strengthen organisational sustainability and, ultimately, benefit society. Join us to hear from New Zealand Rugby board member, Rowena Davenport, who will facilitate a discussion with her fellow directors, Dame Farah Palmer and Catherine Savage, exploring the topic of shared value and what sustainable value creation means for them in their governance roles, today and looking into the future.
This event is being livestreamed from Dunedin. If you're based in Dunedin, why not take the opportunity to network with other members and join us for the in-person event. For more details and to register.
