It’s refreshing when one discovers commonality.
In her opinion piece in yesterday’s Sunday Star Times, CEO of the New Zealand Institute of Directors Nicky Crauford calls for SME’s to embrace the formation of independant Boards of Directors to build their own capability and vision. She states that “we need to set aspirational goals and pursue them with vigour, focus and concentrated effort”. I absolutely concur with Nicky’s comments and have been pushing this theme in my own writing recently.
It’s great to see an organisation as austere as the IOD identifying SME governance as being important for wealth creation.
