The Board and I

Top 13 “ now & next ” issues every Board has to be able to answer , if they are going to have a FUTURE .

................................................

I love working with feisty , passionate , clever and strategic Boards , Advisers , Strategists and Key Decision Makers ensuring their knowledge , conversations , thinking and decisions are all profitably future focussed and provoking them to see beyond the ordinary and obvious and instead embrace the infinite possibilities ahead .

................................................

Each Board and conversation is unique , but here ’ s my list of the top 13 hot provocative topics I ’ m putting on the agendas of Board and Strategy meetings around the globe , this year .

1 . Board makeup , composition and regeneration – do you have the right blend of rear vision specialists and visionaries ’ on your Board to address next , after next and beyond next challenges and opportunities ?
2 . Complex business models and emerging marketplaces – future oriented enterprises operate in global , dynamic asymmetrical marketplaces with businesses of all shapes , sizes , resourcing and longevity actively competing against each other . In these emerging marketplaces competition often comes from outside your industry , not within . How do you recognise , scope and take advantage of these new possibilities and recognise and release yourself from your past business models , legacy systems and wellworn practices and procedures ’.
3 . New technologies and digital landscapes
– look at your world through the eyes of others . Explore the start-up scene around your industry , your business and allied industries . Which emerging technologies and trends are on your horizon ? Which will impact you , when and to what extent ? What new business models are emerging ? Is your business truly digitally / physically integrated ?
4 . Digital Multicultural Leadership – todays ’ work tribes are a mixture of humans on-site , humans off-site and humans digitally connected , but spread across the planet . How do you lead a disparate team of physical and digital tribe members , across time , culture , expectations , education , cultural morays and ROI ’ s ?
5 . People vs Machine – the scope of what work is , who does it , where and when it is done are all transitioning from a fixed time and place model to a fluid work model that allows the task and project to influence the who , what , where , how and when
