The training was extremely well received and, according to the feedback from participants, one of the aspects of the training they found most valuable was the way the training: ‘goes further than typical governance training might and acknowledges the importance of those strategic discussions and networking opportunities with other mana whenua groups. Everyone left wanting more.’
Ron Scott has been a presenter at several BOP branch Institute of Directors events.
Ron has the capacity to talk to a large crowd without difficulty, being knowledgeable, informing and often witty about his topic.
Ron is both motivational and thought provoking and a real asset to have as a speaker. As a presenter for the Governance Development programme, Ron’s extensive business pursuits and local board positions have given him a good knowledge that is vast, relevant and timely.
I recently engaged Ron to speak at a small new member’s function, where he had to break the ice and get communication flowing between members. Ron’s success was almost instant, with everyone conversing and felling comfortable. Ron has a natural way with people.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Ron to any organisation needing a conscientious, engaging and authentic speaker.
“Due to Ron’s extensive Directorship experience the Governance Course was delivered in a very pragmatic and relevant way which provided an excellent learning platform for me”.
With over 20 years management experience and many hours serving on committees and not for profit boards, I wanted to learn the difference between management and governance and identify how I could become a valuable paid board member for business and community organisations.
Since joining the course, I have learned the difference between governance and management and the questions and thinking required to make a useful and effective board member. Ron and Francis continue to challenge my perceptions and help me become more aware of the decisions a board member needs to make to be effective and useful.
The knowledge I have already gained has helped me better support the boards I serve on.
I am learning how to apply my technical and marketing knowledge to help with systems and processes for other boards.
