For Governance Professionals
Automating Your Board Packs: 2nd July
Join our breakfast roundtable to learn how you can save time, money and improve your information security by automating your board reporting process from agenda planning to paper publishing.
Beyond distributing board papers digitally, we’ll focus on how technology can be used end-to-end throughout your board reporting cycle, freeing up Company Secretary teams to focus on being a trusted adviser to the board, rather than spending time on board administration.
Company Secretary Think Tank Breakfast: 11th July
Following our successful Chairman Think Tank breakfasts on employee voice, decision making and board information, we are giving Company Secretaries the opportunities to have their say.
The first of our inaugural breakfasts in June focused on employee voice and we will continue the discussion with our next breakfast centred around decicion making.
Good decisions attract little praise but bad ones put boards in the spotlight — what can boards do to improve the quality of their decision making?
If you’d like to join us and contribute to the debate, please contact us to request an invitation.
Company Secretary Strategic Adviser Series: In Conversation with Kerry Porritt, Keller: 17th July
In part 2 of our Strategic Adviser Series we will be joined by Kerry Porritt, Group Company Secretary and Legal Adviser of Keller. We'll discuss Kerry's experiences on the company's executive committee and the expansion of the the CoSec team's remit to include ethics and compliance.
If you’d like to join us at the discussion over drinks and nibbles, please contact us to request an invitation.
Company Secretary Think Tank Breakfast: 22nd August
The third of our Company Secretary Think Tank breakfasts will take place in August where we will discuss Board Information.
There is greater scrutiny than ever on the information that boards receive, yet board pack quality is deteriorating rather than improving. What can the GC or CoSec do to improve this and what are those that are bucking the trend doing to make a difference?
If you’d like to join us and contribute to the debate, please contact us to request an invitation.
For Board Members
The Intelligent Board: 3rd July (Cambridge)
Board members have the power to improve their boards, find new ways to enhance the governance of their organisations, and rebuild trust with society. So how do we do this without making governance just a ‘box ticking’ exercise?
In our new Intelligent Board programme you’ll discuss research on boardroom trends, hear case studies about what went wrong in the boardrooms of scandal-hit organisations, and see what leading boards are doing to stay on the front foot.
Similar to our Governance Grand Tour, this half day (free) session — in your local city — will give you the opportunity to discuss questions such as ‘is your board focused on the right things?’ to ‘are your board materials good enough?’.
For Financial Services Professionals
SMR — A Missed Opportunity?: 3rd July
As firms start to scale and embed, or gear up to implement the Senior Manager’s Regime, many are unsure if they are doing a good job. Have they really addressed what SMR means for good governance and compliant, effective reporting? Is it possible to benchmark themselves? Moreover, how can SMR make their lives easier, not harder?
The answer is surprisingly simple. Board Intelligence has found that there are 5 key steps that any company can take to assess where they are on their SMR governance journey. Join our breakfast roundtables to find out what these steps are, and how you can benchmark yourself against SMR best practice.
