44% of Directors are not confident their induction process effectively prepares new directors for their role on the Board. A further 54% of Directors are not confident that their Board adequately addresses succession planning. If the start and end of the Director lifecycle are like this – what is the middle like? 

GovernWith’s CEO & Founder Fi Mercer will be joined by special guest Megan Motto, CEO of Governance Institute of Australia to discuss each stage of the Director's lifecycle and their learnings. They will also provide tips on how to ensure Directors have the tools and resources they need to succeed at each stage. 

Join Fi Mercer, Alex Aeschlimann (Chair, Gippsland Southern Health Service), Maryanne Puli Vogels (Chair, Timboon and District Healthcare Service) & Ben Maw (CEO, Cohuna District Hospital) as they discuss how they have been leading a culture of continuous governance review and development. Listen as they discuss their experience of using governance evaluation data for decisions about what to focus on, that has helped improve their identified risks. Our panellists can speak to the magic that starts to occur after doing so for three years.
