The third event of the IoD’s Better Directors Build Better Businesses series will discuss financial resilience in troubled times. The member-only interactive training session will be led by IoD Tutor, Jean Pousson. Even the most savvy economic soothsayers would not have predicted the events of 2022 and the economic and business aftershocks which have, and will probably continue to prevail during 2023. Boards therefore need to ensure that they are not derailed by any financial desperation measures.The conversations on risk and resilience need to change. The CFO needs to step up. Directors need to cultivate their relationship with uncertainty.
Jean Pousson is one of the senior IoD consultants and a regular visitor to Guernsey where he has been delivering the finance, strategy and Diploma programmes for a number of years. An experienced management consultant, Jean has worked in over 34 countries and in a typical year will interface with about 600 directors and with about 8 to 10 Boards. With his other company,www.board-evaluation.co.uk, they have conducted over 100 Board Evaluations over a 10 year period.Coupled with Board experience Jean will provide us with his insights during this highly interactive session.
