Is this your new board superpower?

Boards are called on to make complex decisions that affect whether their organisations will flourish or fail. Boards with wide-ranging diversity of thought can draw on different experiences, perspectives and cognitive preferences to avoid the unchallenged assumptions of groupthink. They can also demonstrate increased creativity, coming up with alternative approaches to opportunities and challenges.

Attend webinar

Why attend?

  • Improve its potential for diverse thinking
  • Use the right practices to develop a culture that allows diversity of thought to be realised

About BoardPro

We exist to increase boardroom productivity and create better functioning boards. We don't believe good governance processes should be left to the domain of larger companies. We know that all parties in a board/management relationship want to use their time and resources most efficiently and productively. We found that a product that helped with the processes, workflows and guidance to work on the right things was missing from the market.

So we developed BoardPro in partnership with some of the best independent directors and most progressive CEOs.
