Board Intelligence

It's a jam-packed schedule from our events team in 2024, exploring the science of board effectiveness. We'll explore questions like: 💡 How can you set your board up for success in 2025? 14th January (UK boards) | 28th January (US boards) 💡 What if minutes took... minutes? - 16th January 💡 What's the science of board evaluations? - 4th February 💡Board portals: why, when and how to switch? - 13th February See more at: https://lnkd.in/etsQ-Hcp

"There is very little in law/regulation that prescribes what a board should or shouldn’t do, but there is a lot of unhelpful habit and convention that drives us to the wrong place." At Board Intelligence, we'd encourage founders, CEOs, and chairs to be brave: tear up agendas and the status quo, and start with a blank sheet. Focus more time on strategy, the external market, innovation, changes in stakeholder dynamics, and less time on backward-looking operations, if you want to get more value out of your board time. - great debate in this thread, and wise words from our CEO, Pippa Begg.

'Wow I have just tried it. Outstanding! With the 2 sets of minutes I have done yesterday and today you have saved me 10 hrs. Thank you again and please extend my thanks to your colleagues.' Client feedback like this makes all the team late nights worthwhile as they've pivoted from board advisory consultants to prompt engineers creating AI tools for our clients. Well done Board Intelligence team on the latest AI tool for Minute Writing https://lnkd.in/e54Ha5WH

We celebrated Christmas Jumper Day early in the office yesterday, with some festive knits, mulled wine and mince pies, to raise money for Save the Children UK. Thanks to all our colleagues (and dogs!) who got involved and donated 🎄 Well done to our winner Emma Burleigh, sporting a fabulous sausage roll themed jumper (because what says Merry Christmas better than a Greggs sausage roll?) #christmasjumperday #savethechildren

What does it mean for boards if economic growth is our "national mission"? And how can we drive innovation and seize the opportunities that AI and technology present? Our Chief Executive, Pippa Begg raised these questions at the beautiful Mansion House last week, during our annual festive celebration. It was a pleasure to see so many clients and friends and to thank you for such an incredible year.

We’re delighted to announce the start of a new chapter for Board Intelligence’s leadership team.   After 20 years building Board Intelligence, Jennifer Sundberg is stepping back from her executive role to join our Advisory Board. Jen will help us build a team of world-class experts to challenge convention and develop new ways of working that benefit boards, businesses, and society.    Jen is an inspiring force, and we’re thrilled that our team, clients, and partners will continue to benefit from her wisdom and insight in the years to come.   Pippa Begg, who has co-led Board Intelligence with Jen since 2009, will now lead the business as CEO. We’re grateful for Pippa’s drive and passion as we expand our offering to supercharge even more boards around the world with the science of board effectiveness.  

Thanks Board Intelligence for a lovely festive drinks! 🎄
