The fundamental duty of governors is to set direction, appoint the right people, ensure reporting and risks are well managed, in order for the organisation to achieve its purpose.
Lastly, after 30 years of consulting, Kevin believes the key to success, across the commercial and community sector, is to have people with the right values around the board table, acting in the best interests of the entity for the benefit of their stakeholders.
