PSP 1 - Real NRC Conversations That Matter

For experienced and emerging directors involved in Nominating and Remuneration Committees, including current and aspiring NRC Chairs, committee members, and governance leaders, this session goes beyond frameworks into the real conversations that shape boards. Governance demands emotional courage, clarity, and the willingness to lead when it matters most. Step into the tough conversations NRCs are actually having, from listed companies to charity boards. We challenge a sacred assumption: Can anyone chair an NRC? What new competencies are required to lead with confidence and credibility in today’s landscape?

 

This session confronts the issues many boards avoid, but can no longer ignore:

  • Chairs and directors who overstay their tenure.
  • Founder-led or nonprofit boards with no real succession plan.
  • CEOs who were right for yesterday, but not for what’s coming next.
  • What fair and accountable remuneration really means, and why it so often becomes a heated CEO-Board debate.
  • How NRCs build trust, call out poor behaviour, and turn evaluations into real levers for culture and performance.
