VOCASO

A vibrant conversation... we wish we had another hour to continue. Performance vs. conformance. Integrity vs. ticking boxes. The tenacity to ask the tough questions, even when the answers remain elusive. What avenger skills are on your Board? Finding a common denominator in the chaos. Navigating the jungle of change and risk. Just a few of the headliners. Today's live webinar, featuring an extraordinary panel of experts and a dynamic host, was packed with powerful dialogue and stimulating as well as highly reflective questions. VOCASO members can catch the recording here if you missed it. https://lnkd.in/eSRzbpnj A big thank you to our incredible panellists for their insights and contributions. Louis Cooper Dr. Ruth Wandh?fer Mark Culwick and Alla Bashenko ?? ?? ?? #governance #whatisgood #integrity #leaders #nonexecutivedirectors
