We all know that boards are supposed to work at the strategic level and stay out of operational detail. We all recognise those occasions when our boards descend into operational detail. And, I believe, we all wish we knew how to help them get back up where they belong. This presentation will look at a range of practical things that you and your team can do that are guaranteed to help your board think and act at a more strategic level.
Recognise and diagnose the way in which your board gets sidetracked from its strategic mission and discover some practical tools to use to help re-energise and elevate the boardroom discussion.
