We love a good crossover episode!

In late 2024, your host Paul Smith featured on The Jasper Blueprint podcast with Bessi Graham. It was so relevant for Future Directors' listener...that we decided to add it to our episode list.

In this episode, Bessi and I explore governance as a competitive edge in small to medium-sized businesses. Focusing on future-fit boards that manage responsibilities across ALL stakeholders, our conversation went beyond the traditional view of governance as mere compliance.

The episode highlights the pivotal role governance plays in decision-making, particularly in privately-owned businesses where it is often overlooked.

Also in this episode:

• Effective governance includes diversity of thought, curiosity, and ongoing education for all involved participants in board settings.
• Stakeholder mapping reveals overlooked perspectives that significantly influences decision-making and strategic direction.
• Emphasising fit-for-purpose governance structures significantly improves the functionality and inclusivity of board and decision-making processes.
