We continue our 'CMI Women: Managing the New Normal' series on the theme of the new good governance. We're delighted to be joined by Chartered Companion Shonaig Macpherson CBE FRSE, who will be sharing her insights on what we've learned from this crisis — about good governance, and what the new good governance will look like.
Shonaig will provide practical insights on how managers can consider the social impact of their decisions during the efforts to rebuild, and how we might better collaborate to achieve the new good governance we seek. Don't miss this opportunity to get top tips for leaders and their boards, as well as have your questions answered live by the experts.
