Join DSC's series of Zoom Talks - an opportunity to get together for an honest discussion of the topical issues facing our sector today.
There are three sessions in the series remaining:
The Covid Crisis CEO: How to get it right
Free Online Zoom Talk: 17.00-18.00 on Wednesday 19 August 2020
Leading a charity during a once in a lifetime global crisis is tough. Your organisation needs you more than ever at this time when, in private, you’re likely to be wrestling with the same lockdown frustrations and issues as everyone else during this pandemic.
What type of CEO should we aspire to be? What did we get right and what would we do differently if we could start again?
DSC Zoom Talk: The do’s and don’ts of a successful board – executive communication during the crisis
Free Online Zoom Talk: 17.00-18.00 on Monday 24 August
Covid 19 has pushed many charities to the brink of an existential crisis and made efficient board communication more important than ever. With high consequence decisions to be made at pace, trustees naturally need to be more involved in the organisation; many boards hold more frequent meetings and ad hoc crisis working groups have been formed. But how much involvement is too much? How can organisations shape the board-executive crisis communication in a way that gives trustees all the information they need but doesn’t turn into an unnecessary additional burden on an already stretched executive? And when is it time to go back to a pre-crisis communication model?
DSC Zoom Talk: The end of the office as we know it?
Free Online Zoom Talk: 17.00-18.00 on Wednesday 26 August
Are you tired of Zoom meetings, bored of being at home all day and just can’t wait to go back to the office? Or have you and your colleagues adapted so well to a new remote work setup that your organisation is considering giving up on a physical office space entirely in the future?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a traditional office set up vs remote working, and can you get the best of both worlds with a more flexible approach between the two extremes?
