How can trustees be more adaptive and systemic?
About this event
Catch up on this event on our YouTube channel.
Charities are becoming accustomed to adopting more agile ways of working. But many trustees feel tension between being flexible and ensuring effective oversight. And between more systemic ways of working and traditional models of governance and reporting.
So, what do more adaptive and more systemic approaches mean for governance?
What will we cover?
We will be joined by experts from the sector to share key tips for trustees on how to find the balance between adaptive and systemic approaches and governance. The seminar will include:
- What more adaptive strategy approaches means for governance
- How trustees can empower and lead more systemic working
- Meeting legal responsibilities in times of rapid change
Who is it for?
This event is free and open to all trustees, with a particular focus on those of small and medium-sized organisations.
Speakers
We are delighted to be joined by Tom Gash, Managing Director at Leapwise, and Lisa Jordan, Senior Managing Director and Europe Director at DRK Foundation, who will share their experiences on the topic.
