A survey before we begin...

Thank you for joining us for this ‘Governance in High Stakes’ Online Learning Course. Before we begin, here are some questions for you to reflect on….

(If you wish, you can submit your responses at the end. All responses are anonymous – they will help shape and inform the themes covered in any future courses developed across the Governance and Leadership policy area)

If you are currently a member of a Board, Committee or Executive Team, or you work closely with a Board, what has prompted you to reach for this programme?
Are there any individual or collective behaviours on your Board, Committee or Executive Team that interest you or disturb you? If so, what repeating patterns have you noticed?
Is there a fellow Board, Committee or Executive Team member, that you find difficult to get along with? What response do they trigger in you? Maybe you get irritated or angry. Maybe you avoid them. What have you noticed about your response?
What are you setting out to do on this programme? What do you want to learn?

Once you have considered these opening questions, please move on to the next class where Margaret introduces learners to the concept of Governance in High Stakes and considers why Boards, Committees and Executive Teams are particularly vulnerable in high stakes situations.
