What are the big investigations into governance failure telling us?

The Post Office, Grenfell and the Lampard Inquiries are all salutary and ‘before the deluge’ directors at all of these organisations never imagined that the way they were working would find itself scrutinised and multiple failings identified.

Yet the themes are blindingly repetitious: poor governance, non-executive accepting reassurance and not assurance, conflicts of interest, bad actors not addressed, the front line not listened to and groupthink, to name but a few.

In this webinar we will be joined by some of the expert witnesses at the inquiries concerned and, with GGi’s ringside seat with many boards working through good times and bad, we will be discussing what all directors need to remain focused on, and the practical lessons that can be learnt.

From an insistence on the brilliant basics of good governance, to how to be professionally curious in a board role, to how to really listen to what our frontline staff are saying this webinar is a unique opportunity for those leading universities, NHS trusts, local authorities, housing associations, regulators, charities or any other public-purpose organisations to absorb thinking about how a good board needs to work.
