Boards

A Practical Perspective
Boards provides a practical, realistic, thought-provoking and useful guide to life as a board member. It is split into three areas, Purpose, People and Process reflecting the three key areas of concern for any board. This is combined with the fourth section which sets out a series of real-life dilemmas for readers to practice on, making this book an ideal companion for anyone who is an aspirant, novice or seasoned board member. Drawing on Patricks extensive range of experience working with and on boards in many sectors, in the UK and internationally, it is equally applicable to business, charities and social enterprises, professional services firms, public bodies and universities. The book is also written in a highly accessible and engaging style that brings life and fun to what is a very serious topic. Whats new in the second edition? Firstly, I have gone through every page and updated it, where appropriate, for what might have changed as a result of all of the above. Theres also some new content in a number of areas including Culture, Stakeholder management, Board reviews, smaller listed companies as well as the use of technology.
