Welcome, Introduction to the session and the newly published Governance & Leadership Guide

35 mins

In Groups, we will consider specific governance and leadership challenges identified by participants prior to the workshop, and explore ideas that can help overcome these challenges

If no challenges have been identified we will consider the Board assessment prompt sheet and explore participants’ views on it’s contents, other models of assessment they might use and their implementation

45 mins

First we will share ideas that have emerged to tackle the specific issues raised and, then, consider the strengths and any weaknesses in the approach adopted. Before breaking, we will assess how useful the Guide has been in providing frameworks and processes for addressing the issues.

SHORT REFRESHMENT BREAK

25 mins

We will move on to unpacking the concept of work shadowing as another way of drawing on the practice of others to strengthen governance and leadership. We want to explore whether the idea would be welcomed by ITPs or if there are alternative approaches to ‘learning through sharing’ that may be better fit for purpose.

Whatever approach draws greatest support, our discussions will include identifying the parameters for its implementation and the agreed protocols that would need to be observed to protect commercial sensitivity.

15 mins

Before ending, we will invite participants to register IN PRINCIPLE as supporters to implement the approach that is most favoured, and identify key ideas and action points that have arisen from this confidential session
