Member Advisory Sessions

Each member contributed to how their leadership theories and practices were tested during the COVID-19 Lockdown.

Two start-ups presented their strategy and planning.  Members divided into groups and assisted them with specialist advice on  areas of development.

We tracked the evolution of management theories and practices and members brought with them some of their own managers in order that they could relate to some of the management methods currently in practice within each of their companies.

​

​The session provided the opportunity for the managers to seek advice from the business leaders providing them with wider viewpoints from outside their own companies and the opportunity for the managers to gain the practical experience of seasoned business leaders.

Members tabled key issues that were affecting their businesses at that moment, and sought peer advice.

Members who are contributing to the strategy books being written by Heather Robertson expanded on their interviews and shared their stories of growth, success and failures.

Our companies are only as good as the development we put into ourselves.   We discussed what we each individually need and how we plan our own personal development

As a group we discussed, over video what we believed would need to be changed or rebuilt in our businesses after we emerged from Lockdown.

We split into two groups and analysed two case studies relating to known international companies:

​

Impact on Culture and Values
