In 2019, the ABV Board faced the scenario of closing or attempting to weather the storm of COVID.
This case study will explore how the ABV Board’s courage and faith in their CEO, Liz Mackinlay, allowed the organisation to pivot in a time of crisis. Those lessons of bravery and vision have radically transformed how the ABV Board approaches governance.
Liz leads a case study examining this example of innovative leadership and board cooperation through the lens of Environmental Social Governance.
This presentation highlights:
- The importance of boards having courageous conversations.
- Innovative leadership and pioneering with purpose.
- How a board can support a major strategy pivot.
- Environmental Social Governance and the importance of ‘social’ outcomes for communities.
A global change to our approach to social impact is needed, which is only possible with compassionate and innovative leadership from our CEOs and boards.
