Announcements

As many countries are now easing restrictions following imposed lockdown, we're now starting to see a noticeable struggle in finding the balance between kick-starting the economy whilst implementing measures that prevent further outbreaks. 

You can view the Series here; once you've had a chance to catch up on how our interviewees adapted under the restrictions of Covid-19, we'd like to hear from you and invite you to share your and your organisation's own experience​​​s via our dedicated discussion thread here.

It's important for us to understand how the profession has been impacted, how it has dealt with said impact, and how it will move forward, so we would very much like to hear from you. Join the discussion today.

The Chartered Governance Institute is delighted to announce the launch of 'The Governance Exchange' - a new interview series that examines global governance issues through the eyes of leading practitioners, academics and commentators.


Short and sharp, these 1-to-1 interviews will bring to light the insights and experiences that we all want to hear and learn from.
The series is available to view on-demand here, with episodes being added regularly.
We would also like to hear from you - view our dedicated discussion thread and share your own experiences of the Impact of Covid-19.

On Tuesday 2nd June, The Chartered Governance Institute hosted a webinar that considered "Do we really need to me? Learning from a global pandemic". We heard from 3 leading industry professionals who shared their experiences as well as their thoughts on whether the future holds a place for hybrid AGM's.

The on-demand recording is AVAILABLE HERE, and once you've viewed that, why not take a look at some of the key questions raised, and share your experiences too?

Earlier this week, John Heaton (Vice President of The Chartered Governance Institute & President of the UKRIAT Division), published a speech he gave on the topic of Corporate Governance - An International Perspective, back in February of this year.

You can read the speech here, and then join the discussion here.

The Chartered Governance Institute's Thought Leadership Committee today published its latest report on 'Enhancing Individual Director Accountability'.

It's only Tuesday and so far this week we've already published;

• The Director General's 'Front of Mind' blog. As has been the case for many weeks now, there's really only one thing at the forefront of everyone's minds. Have a read of Tim's blog below which looks at the impact of Covid-19 so far, and how this may affect the way in which we work. 
• The President's Report - the latest report to members is now published. Take a look and find out more about the important decisions taken at the recent international Council meeting held in early April. Read it here.

Stay tuned - we've got a great deal of content coming your way soon..

In light of the developing situation surrounding this Global pandemic, we have created a space for you to share your thoughts, updates, advice, guidance and resources, in the form of a new sub-community titled: Covid-19: New policies and practices.

You can also locate this in the 'Communities' tab in the top navigation. From the drop-down, select 'All Communities' and it should appear in the list.

We are in a time of crisis - a Global Pandemic affecting us all in some capacity; affecting our work practices, affecting our social lives, affecting the economy & affecting us personally. This is, and will continue to be, a hugely pivotal time for businesses and governance professionals. So we've created a space for you that is dedicated to sharing concerns, advice, guidance, best practice and any resources that may be of use to others in the profession. 

Please feel free to start a discussion thread or upload your resources to the library. Now, more than ever before, there is a call for community. You find yourselves in a primed position to establish that on a great scale. 

See the latest Blog on the impact of Covid-19 below. Don't forget to share your thoughts and opinions!

Tim Sheehy, Director General of The Chartered Governance Institute, has posted a new blog. Scroll down to read, or click the link below.

It's now officially been one week since this eCommunity went live, and there have been some thought-provoking discussions and compelling arguments so far. Whilst this platform will provide insights from, and updates for, The Chartered Governance Institute, it's also been put in place to act as forum for general discussion, knowledge-sharing and advice-seeking. 

One of the most important questions for your individual career development, but also for the progression of Corporate Governance as a whole, is what day-to-day challenges you face at work. The latest discussion thread posted by Peter asks this, whilst also providing insight into his own. It would be great to hear what (if anything) keeps you up at night, in an attempt to allow this community to help you tackle it. 
We look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great week!

Yesterday, @Tom Lancaster-King posted an interesting discussion thread surrounding Division Engagement within The Chartered Governance Institute which queried best practice when it comes to both method and medium. It's been great to hear from @Wisdom Ncube on their processes in Canada - how does this compare to your own preferred communication methods or how you like to engage with the Institute?

This is an incredibly important element to get right in the modern day, so we'd love to hear your thoughts! Why not add your comments to their thread?

Emily.​
