How to establish an Adaptive Strategy and bring the board and organisation on the journey.

As the rate of change increases and the world becomes more complex and uncertain, traditional strategy methods become less effective. Over the last few years new methods of creating and activating strategy have been developed. Adaptive strategy provides a new paradigm in strategic thinking. Using our experience with The Guardians of NZ Superannuation we will show how we co-created an Adaptive Strategy and how it influences and guides decision making.

Explore using skill matrixes to ensure effective director succession planning and onboarding. Understand how to identify the right competencies, balance the board’s collective expertise, and plan for future needs.

In today’s business world, boards must be agile, diverse, and prepared for future challenges. A skill matrix is a powerful tool that helps boards evaluate their current capabilities, identify gaps, and ensure they have the right mix of skills for long-term success.

This webinar will guide you through creating and utilising a skill matrix for director succession planning and onboarding. We will cover key elements such as identifying essential skills, assessing current directors, and planning for strategic recruitment and training.

This webinar is meticulously designed to illuminate what 'fit-for-purpose' governance really means in today's dynamic business environment.
Dr Dean Blomson, supported by the panel, of Steven Bowman and Lisa Cook, will delve into why it is crucial for any organisation to develop a bespoke governance model that fits its unique needs, not generic, ‘one-size-fits-all’ governance.
Dean will briefly touch on his research into new operating model constructs (shared in a previous session on 7 March 2024 – ‘Governance 4.0’); the key topics and questions the board and executive need to ask themselves (and answer) in order to determine what ‘fit-for-purpose’ means for them.
Dean, together with the panel will be offering actionable suggestions for boards and executives.
