In this video class, Margaret is joined by Esther Roberton – a leading Public Sector Board Member and Chair; and a Director of Scotland’s Futures Forum, the Scottish Parliament’s think-tank. In this – the second of three video conversations – they explore the importance of human dynamics and synergy to Board performance.

Key themes

  • Governing virtually – the challenges of online Board & Committee meetings
  • Keeping Non-Executive Directors engaged
  • The value of going beyond ‘individual’ skillsets
  • Board Development – the importance of training Board & Committee members
