Polycrisis isn't a scary word, but it is shaping how directors and leaders think.
What happens when boards are no longer dealing with one challenge at a time, but multiple crises simultaneously?
In this episode of Board Talk: Off the Cuff, Sonia Yee speaks with Institute of Directors General Manager of the Governance Leadership Centre, Herman Visagie, about what a polycrisis means for directors, including why a ‘set and forget’ strategy is no longer good enough, and the need to remain sharp when when we have greater access to information than ever before, yet far less certainty.
And Helen Potoki IoD’s Principal Advisor, Māori Governance provides an insight into the shift taking place across Māori governance and why succession planning and training needs to take place now to ensure New Zealand boards are equipped with a strong and effective talent pool of directors in the future.
