GM & CEO Academy Virtual Board

Virtual Board debates are vastly varied. They are always a live issue that a member is facing. It gives our leaders a chance to make the most of their fellow GMs and CEOs by drawing on their experience, posing questions and finding ways to move forward with imaginative lateral thinking solutions for the issue. Members talk the conundrum through in a highly disciplined and structured way. Firstly a short ‘fact based presentation’ from the host GM/CEO covering the business model and the issue in hand. This is followed by ‘clarification questioning’ from 3-6 fellow attendees. Then the ‘Virtual Board’(VB) debate starts and in just minutes the VB starts producing exciting answers. One of the team is then selected to present the whole process to the wider group on the day.
