In part 2 of the Building Stronger Boards series, Jeremy and Chris will guide us through the discipline of direction.
Great boards don’t chase every opportunity, they define the few that matter and commit to them. In this session, we’ll explore how effective boards create strategic clarity, filter noise, and build the resolve to stay focused amid market, client, and internal pressures. Attendees will learn how to anchor the firm’s direction in purpose, not momentum, and ensure every major decision reinforces that focus.
IN THIS SESSION, ATTENDEES WILL:
- Understand How to Define and Articulate the Firm’s True Strategic Priorities
- Learn Frameworks for Filtering Distractions and Aligning Leadership Attention
- Discover How Disciplined Boards Maintain Long-term Focus Without Stifling Innovation
