7 weekends spent at the Rising Tide Africa Board Readiness Program remains one of the highlights of my year 2024. Having interacted with several boards in secretarial and managerial capacity over the course of my career - I was eager to sharpen my expertise in this area and it was an excellent investment. I’m continuing to implement my learnings from the sterling faculty and my amazing colleagues on the program. My summary take aways below: 1. How Boards Work - Tinuade Awe, M.CIoD shared important insights on implementing the RAFTE principles of Corporate Governance (Responsibility, Accountability, Fairness, Transparency and Ethics) for Boards especially in the African context. 2. Strategy and the Board - Foluso Phillips expertly explained the 3x3 framework for effective & strategic decision making (Organizational level, Process Level, Job performance Level). 3. Understanding Board Dynamics - Cecilia Akintomide skillfully shared strategies on navigating the 4Rs (Right People, Right Purpose (Vision & Goals) , Right Tools, Right Tone (Communication & Accountability). 4. Sustainablity & ESG in the Board Room - Ivana I. Osagie - shared valuable insights on this hot topic for Boards, and the importance of establishing a materiality matrix outlining areas of focus based on what’s important to a company and also to it’s critical stakeholders to drive it’s sustainability agenda. 5. Board Meeting Simulation - Bashirat Odunewu - ably chaired this session to put our learnings to practice and I learnt the importance of emotional intelligence in the Boardroom. 6. Securing your first Board Seat - Omobola Johnson - left me with the importance of following your passions, genuine interests and areas of competence to ensure that I will truly add value on any boards I serve. Contributions from amazing participants made the sessions more interesting and rewarding: Yemi Keri, Oyiza Salu FCIPM,Dr. Olayemi Dawodu, Fola Akinrinlola, Dolapo Kukoyi, Mary Akpobome. I regrettably missed Hetty Ugboh’s session on Finance & Risk Management as I had to be away on a trip. Thanks Oyiza Salu FCIPM for the nugget from this. Thanks to Ivana I. Osagie, Yemi Keri and the Rising Tide Africa team for putting it all together!

It’s been 8 enlightening weeks of learning, unlearning and relearning at the Rising Tide Africa Board Readiness Programme. I met some really amazing ladies and facilitators like Yvonne Ogunoiki Mary Akpobome Cecilia Akintomide Tinuade Awe, M.CIoD Hetty Ugboh Foluso Phillips Dr. Olayemi Dawodu Bashirat Odunewu Fola Akinrinlola Omobola Johnson I’ld like to leave you with a few #nuggets: 1. Board membership is not a full time job but it is a full time responsibility (Tinuade Awe) 2. White spaces are where risks and opportunities lie (Mr Foluso Phillips) 3. The committee is the kitchen of the Board (Cecilia Akintomide) 4. A director’s oversight is nose-in, fingers-out (Cecilia Akintomide) 5. The boardroom is a place of intense power and intense vulnerability (Cecilia Akintomide) 6. A board member’s posture should be one of a coach (Cecilia Akintomide) 7. Sustainability is about holding something in trust for the future/next generation (Ivana Osagie) 8. A director is the custodian and guardian of the organisation (Hetty Ugboh) 9. Manage your expectations; be prepared to start small (Dr Mobola Johnson) And of course the boardroom simulation chaired by Bashirat Odunewu brought everything to life. Thanks Ivana I. Osagie Yemi Keri
