PSP 1 - Difficult Conversations in the Boardroom

PIT-STOPS
In this roundtable session, the Nominating and Remuneration Committee (NRC) Chapter seeks to provide a platform for peer learning through robust discussion and exchange of ideas, using practical case studies on critical topics and current issues. This session on tackling difficult conversations in the boardroom will be structured around a real-life case (fictionalised for confidentiality purposes). Presented with a scenario of “What would you do?,” members will have the opportunity to share their opinions and experiences, as well as brainstorm potential solutions. Chatham House rules apply.

 

Learning outcomes: 

  • Have productive conversations and unmask the elephant in the room.
  • Create a board culture of transparency and openness.
  • Prevent politicisation of the board to achieve alignment with company goals and values.
