Our panel of local SME directors will discuss Advisory Boards - what are they, why would you want one, and how to get started
This is the second in a series of three events in partnership with the Wānaka Business Chamber looking at governance in SME and start-up businesses.
Advisory Boards are often the first step in the governance journey for growing SMEs, striking a balance between informality and effectiveness whilst seeking to harness the knowledge and skills of external parties to provide strategic insight and hold the business accountable to the agreed tactics and goals.
This panel discussion will involve exploring the What, Why and How of Advisory Boards from multiple perspectives including business owners themselves. It will be practically focused and will have ample time to consider real-world questions from the floor.
After the panel discussion, there will be the opportunity to network over light refreshments.
Our third session on 26 September will cover developing and extracting value of governance in an SME. Make sure to lock this in your diary.
