What if…? Making impactful board decisions in tough times
We all know we live in challenging times. Crises hit on all levels, and still business continues as usual. We are in almost in the midst of the decade… Major challenges are ahead, not in the least on political and economic level. How does the road to 2030 look like? And what can we learn from the past? Many companies are preparing themselves for the future, and launch the next step in their strategic planning cycle. Maybe some hard decisions will have to be made. Maybe the organisation has to be ready for impactful change.
GUBERNA Director’s Day wants to assist in building these strategic scenario’s, giving directors like you inspiration and guidelines on how to deal with change in such a way that you start creating change, “owning the change”.
- What if… you want to change activities because they do no longer fit with your norms and values?
- What if… you must help your family business reorientate to be fit for the future?
- What if… you want your organisation to become leaner and more agile?
- What if… you have to make difficult trade-offs because stakeholders push you in different directions?
Our speakers will answer the question on how to bring these topics in the boardroom. How do you asses if your team is ready for change? How can you leverage your stakeholders, financiers, banks to help your organisation go through a period of change? How can you steer change from the board? And how can you anticipate on the challenges ahead?
Come, listen and exchange on September 24th, starting at 14h00 and ending around 19h00. Keep an eye on this page, as there is soon more information to come.
Our GUBERNA researchers want to assess the impact of change on Belgian board members. All data will be treated strictly anonymously, we don’t ask names or specificities. Tell us your story!
During Director’s Day, our speakers will share their stories and distill valuable tips from their experience for you. We want to hear your stories as well!
- Did you go through a period of organisational/strategic change with your board?
- What was your experience? What were your take-aways?
- How did you cope with the stress attached to it?
- What elements truly helped you out?
- Did it change the way you looked at your boardmembership?
Find below the preliminary programme. The event will be moderated by Suyin Aerts.
