Questions
(06:02 Ateel) What is the fine line [for the Board getting involved] in appointing Office Staff – e.g Business managers, Front office staff. Is it an operational matter? What are your thoughts?
(11:28 Michelle) What do you like to see in a board pack? How much before the meeting do you like to receive it? And how do you encourage people to read the board packs before each board meeting?
(23:44 Annette) We are currently making changes to our Agenda Template. Looking for information on best practice Agenda layout and specifically how to relate agenda items to the Strategic Plan.
(41:18 David) How can we make time for digital, to deeply incorporate this into both strategy and risk? Digital transformation and cybersecurity can easily be crowded out of the agenda by short-term operational issues, and there’s only so much time/attention when small organisations have several board meetings per year.
