Leadership is crucial during a time of organisational change. Given that change is now a continuous process for all businesses, boards and directors need to be on top of all aspect of change programmes.
Our panel members for this Leadership Series discussion will explore what are the elements of successful change management and what role boards and non-executive directors should play.
Drawing on their experiences the panelists will discuss topics such as the relevance of culture and values, ensuring outcomes meet ambitions and how to manage uncertainty. They will also explain the cost of change versus the status quo and how good leaders get the ‘right pace’ when managing change from the boardroom to the shop-floor.
Attendance at the Leadership Series is exclusively for IoD members and is kindly sponsored by Mason Hayes & Curran.
