What if our governance was radically relevant for your organisation today, what's really needed, and will help you drive your vision? What if our board was a team, not a meeting, and we've chosen who we want to give that power to?"

This isn't a webinar or a panel of experts with all the answers. It's a facilitated conversation where leaders, artists, and cultural changemakers come together to share lived experience, reflect honestly, and think together.

Facilitated by Richard Watts

Your Host: Richard Watts

With 25-years experience in the field of learning and organisation development, Richard works with individuals, leadership teams and companies to create and embed transformational change, employing his specialist expertise in leadership development, organisational development, organisational culture, coaching, facilitation and change management.

As one of the co-directors of people make it work, Richard works with over 60 people nationwide to support organisations across the whole ecology of the arts and culture sector to change, develop and transform.

In this session Richard will be exploring ways to make governance more useful, less onerous, more reflective of your mission and culture and easier for a broad range of people to meaningfully engage with. That's what we call radical purposeful governance.
