Announcements

The seventh annual Ethics Index has revealed a dip in the nation’s levels of trust for the second year in a row, representing a big U-turn from the record highs of the first year of the pandemic.

Short courses, Certificates and membership bundles are just some of the great things we have to offer.

If you weren't able to join us for the live discussion, you can now watch our latest webinar on 'Values of Belonging, Dignity and Justice' on-demand.

We'd like to take this opportunity to once again thank our esteemed panel of speakers, and all those who joined the live webinar, representing a truly global community of governance professionals from all corners of the world!

Join us at the Melbourne Convention Centre for two days and hear from the world's most respected governance and risk management voices as we explore the continuous shift in political, economic, geopolitical and social global landscapes.

We'd like to take a moment to share with you that @Troy Williams is the very first eCommunity user to achieve Gold Member status! Troy has set the bar by way of engagement within the eCommunity, paving the way as our first MVP (Most Valued Professional) for this platform.

We caught up with Troy to get his feedback on what the value of the eCommunity is to him...

​Troy has been an incredible advocate for the eCommunity along the journey so far, and we hope that his experiences inspire you to engage with the content housed here. Thank you Troy, for your ongoing contribution to the development of this community space.

How do I 'up my game'?

Quite simply, the eCommunity registers a certain number of 'engagement points' each time you contribute to ongoing activity, so if you'd like to achieve a similar accolade, all you really have to do is add a comment or post a discussion now and then! Simple!

Without the people at the heart of a profession, an eCommunity like this means very little; but your interaction and knowledge-sharing helps, encourages & connects fellow professionals around the world. For that, we thank you, and we hope to see the conversation continuing to thrive with your ongoing support!

We recently heard from several of you that despite ticking the 'stay signed in' check-box on the sign-in page, the eCommunity hasn't kept you logged in when you've come back say, the next day. 

Whilst the site will log you out automatically after a certain amount of time, purely as a security feature, we are pleased to inform you that the 'stay signed in' function, has now been pushed to 72 hours.

We will continue working with our site developers to see if we can increase this further, but we hope this will be beneficial to many of you for the time being!

The findings of the latest Board Diversity Index are in, providing a snapshot of Australia’s top 300 boardrooms in 2022.

Hello! 

As part of a 4-week 'Refresh & Reach Out' campaign for the eCommunity, we wanted to share our new video with you: the people at the heart of the profession. Over the last 2 years, you've contributed your discussions, engaged in global webinars, and participated in an ever-growing global network of governance professionals, and we are truly grateful for your support in helping us build an increasingly collaborative eCommunity. 

Over the next 4 weeks, you'll see an increase in eCommunity-related activities, all of which are leading to the development of a very exciting project later this year... (watch this space!). In the meantime though, we've provided a couple of additional videos to ensure you're getting maximum value from the platform - check them out below!

Thank you for joining us on the journey so far, and we look forward to continuing the conversation with you!

Governance Institute is devising a roadmap to help boards tackle the digital transformation - and we want to hear from you. The survey will take approximately six minutes to complete, is anonymous, and closes on 20 May 2022.

Today Governance Institute of Australia launched a step-by-step guide for boards and management on the path to net zero. Outlining key steps - from engaging your board in the climate conversation to managing legal and stakeholder expectations – this guide will help ensure climate governance is built into your organisation’s strategy.

“This new guide is designed to assist all organisations – large and small and across sectors – to take immediate action on climate,” CEO Megan Motto said.

The latest 'Front-of-Mind' blog, as authored by Director General, Tim Sheehy, is now available to view.

"In the past, [Tim] has written about The Chartered Governance Institute's membership of the Value Reporting Foundation and the movement toward more uniform global reporting standards. CGI is supportive of the consolidation of reporting standards and so [he] would like to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on progress."

You can download the Paper HERE, and view the on-demand recording HERE.

<<< Join Gertrude Takawira in conversation!

Following a recent discussion thread on 'The Great Resignation in 2022', @Christopher Russell was inspired to write this month's guest blog on the topic of 'Bullying and Diversity', after noting observation in the thread that these are some of the leading elements contributing to toxic culture in the workplace.

Christopher's blog looks at some of the possible methods that boards can employ in order to effectively deal with bullying behaviour and diversity, and discusses some of the impacts of these elements.​

Has your company dealt with bullying, or addressed diversity issues? How have measures implemented  affected the organisation and its performance?

The Chartered Governance Institute's Though Leadership Committee recently released its latest paper on 'Ethical Governance in AI'.

As we step forward into a brighter & more optimistic New Year, we'd like to welcome all returning users back to the eCommunity, whilst also extending a warm welcome to anyone that is joining us for the first time! 

Whilst 2022 will hopefully be a year a little more in line with perceived "normality", our existence in the digital space remains strong! Whilst many will be keen for face-to-face events & meetings to resume, for workplaces to thrive with hustle & bustle once more, we remain your dedicated 24/7 online platform, 365 days a year, focusing solely on the governance profession and the people at the heart of it!

We've got a great deal going on, all of which will be revealed in the not-too-distant future; but in the meantime, have a browse of the new library, challenge your thinking in contributing to our discussions, or perhaps start your own thread/ask a question! There's much to navigate & engage with already, but be sure to watch this space for more coming soon...!

As 2021 draws to a close, we'd like to thank all of our eCommunity members for being a part of this platform, and for helping us make it through to the 2nd anniversary! We've had some superb feedback via our survey so far, and have some very exciting developments in the pipeline for 2022, so watch this space!

All that's left for us to say for now, is we wish you a happy & healthy festive break, and a bright, prosperous New Year! We look forward to connecting with you then!
