‘What does COVID-19 mean for boards?’

In a recent interview on CNBC, Patrick Patrick Dunne, chair and author of ‘Boards’, stated that ‘There has never been a more testing time for Boards.’

He went on to explain:

Covid-19 feels like SARs, 9-11 and the Financial crisis all rolled into one. The existential threat to businesses and more importantly to our colleagues, friends, families and selves is real. Lives and livelihoods are at stake.

But what does this all mean for boards?

On Thursday 30th April, 12 – 12.45 pm (UK time) , Patrick and Alison Gill, behavioural psychologist & CEO of Bvalco will be taking part in an online discussion about what boards have learnt in the last few weeks, and where we go from here.
