The board of directors – a burden or a huge potential?
For many years we have had too many control boards, too many eternal boards and too many seriousness boards. Those days are over.
If our boards of directors want to continue to be relevant as the company's top, strategic management, board work must be brought into a completely different gear.
The board of directors should not be handled, the board of directors should be activated.
In the presentation, Laura Vilsbæk, board member and owner of Newbyestylde.dk, share new knowledge about the truly value-creating board of directors, which can become a catalyst for dreams and goals instead of just a passive control body.
It's about the 7 good board habits, the owner-manager's barriers, and the benefits that can be reaped by establishing an active and value-creating board.
The Go Home meeting is for those of you who either collaborate with a board, those of you who are curious about board work and the board's value creation, and those of you who want to develop your own board role.
Laura Vilsbæk works on 8 boards and is behind Newbyestylde.dk, where she demystifies board work and helps Danish companies establish much more value-creating boards.
Laura also teaches at several board education courses, is the author of “You don't have to be called Jens and wear a suit.” and is behind the podcast “New to the board".
