In this week’s episode, we talk to Susan Hoare and Vanessa Jaeger about Trustee Effectiveness.

What are the challenges facing trustee boards? What were the key findings from our behavioural research? What about those boards that have done nothing to review or improve their effectiveness to date? What about those boards who think they are already getting it right – what’s in this for them?

Working alongside behavioural insight agency Behave London and our colleagues in the Aon Talent & Reward practice, we have developed a comprehensive suite of tools to firstly enhance your understanding of your current operational effectiveness and governance, but then take tangible steps towards improvement, including improving trustee meetings and decision-making.
