Newsletter: Disrupting the Gender Bias

In our last newsletter, we raised some questions around the importance of building diverse boardrooms. It seems that we were picking at a thread close to your hearts as the response rate to our survey rose by over 55% and drew some interesting, motivating results. 50% of you rated the strategic leadership of your board as ‘good’ or ‘high’, while 80% of you felt that diversity in your boardroom is ‘poor’ or ‘non-existent’. On these findings alone, perhaps diversity isn’t as important as we think? Perhaps not, as only 20.6% of respondents disagreed that diversity was important to strong corporate governance. The ‘will’ amongst the senior professionals that we surveyed is there, but the question remains, how do we bridge the representation gap?

Newsletter: Leading Through Uncertainty

While the Australian economy celebrates 25 years of avoiding recession, and the US is on the road to being "Great" again, back in the UK we have enjoyed a far more rollercoaster like existence as we try to pick our way through an ever-shifting landscape.

Then, we voted for Brexit, they voted for Trump and now, back home the youth have mobilised and made themselves heard.
