🟠 "The power of BoardPro is its simplicity." 🟠 This year, Orange Sky Australia celebrates 10 years of positively connecting communities, supporting people experiencing homelessness and hardship through access to free laundry, warm showers and genuine conversation. We re-visit our conversation with Lucas Patchett OAM, CEO and co-founder, where we learned how the simplicity of BoardPro has helped Orange Sky to grow and scale its governance system. "BoardPro is so easy—it really does what it says on the box. It's affordable and saves a lot of time for me as CEO, being the pivot point between the board and the organisation."

What are the ingredients for a healthy relationship between a CEO and the board? Ultimately, they are: ✅ Trust ✅ Transparency ✅ Teamwork For these to be present, there needs to be a flow of information between the CEO and the board—which presents the question ... What does the CEO need to tell the board? Steven Bowman FAICD outlines what needs to be said in his latest article (🔗 link in comments ⤵️ ). The CEO needs to give the board: 🔄 everything it asks for—and anything the CEO believes the board needs to know 🔄 all information that ensures the board can meet its duty of care, monitor compliance, and engage in strategic thinking On the flipside, the board needs to: 🔄 be explicit about the information it requires—in format, frequency, and focus 🔄 use the information provided by the CEO wisely 🔄 avoid micromanaging—boards govern, CEOs manage A great board-CEO relationship is a partnership where information flows freely, egos take a back seat, and both focus on driving the organisation forward. 🚀 #Governance #Leadership #BoardLeadership #CorporateGovernance #CEOreporting #CEOreport #BoardManagementSoftware

🤖 Have you introduced AI to your board yet? 💻 As Chris Ridd outlines in the Australian Institute of Company Directors article, make sure you have a system in place where you codify governance processes to maximise AI's effectiveness. This includes having all data and documents in one place — a board management software solution — to solve the issues of inefficient use of time, administrative overwhelm, and separate email and document management tools. You can read more here https://lnkd.in/gAgJNE_3 💡 If you're at the stage of adopting AI, having an AI policy and framework in place is essential to maximise AI's potential and mitigate its risks. There's a link to BoardPro's AI Policy and Framework Template in the comments below that provides guidance on how to use AI responsibly and in line with your organisation's values.
