Can yesterday’s models work for today’s directors?
Do you want to hear from an experienced mediator and arbitrator, barrister, reviewer and director about the challenges of being a director in the 21st century? The world is ever-changing and the role of a director is no different. But are the models of the past still fit for purpose?
Overview
Join us to hear from Miriam Dean, a highly experienced director who will be interviewed on how to get onto a board and the challenges she has faced. There’s no prescribed route to success, but there are some key decisions you’ll be faced with as you make your way in the world of governance. As an experienced director, Miriam will give her take on what you need to be looking at, listening for and acting on if you aim to make a positive contribution.
