WATSON Moderates ICD Breakfast Session:
Is DEI in Your DNA?

Join WATSON's Rachel O'Connor, on April 6 when she moderates a panel discussion exploring how diversity, equity, and inclusion will shape the board's future; hosted by the Institute of Corporate Directors BC Chapter.

Don’t miss this discussion featuring our panel of experienced and passionate directors: Juggy Sihota, Vice President of Consumer Health at Telus, Angela Wesley, Partner at Wes-Can Advisory Services, and Scott Thomson, Chief Executive Officer of Finning International Inc.

Directors and boards today know they need to embed DEI into their work, yet we find most boards are still in the early stages of meaningfully doing so. Listen to the panel explore the three pillars of what makes for a DEI-savvy board in this lively and engaging discussion. And bring your own questions and insights for them to discuss.

WATSON's Governance Academy Launches NEW Intentional Board™ Modules
Our Intentional Board workshops have helped boards across the country align and deepen their understanding of key governance theories. Our workshops are designed for directors and management from a common organization to build a sound and consistent foundation in governance principles and concepts. It also allows the opportunity for tailored learning that best fits your organization’s specific needs and unique context.

And now we are thrilled to bring even more modules to broaden your board’s governance knowledge.

WATSON’s Governance Academy is proud to launch new learning modules in the following critical areas:
  • Risk
  • DEI/ESG
  • The Board’s role in Strategic Planning
  • Effective Reports and Presentations
  • Board Renewal & Succession Planning

We've already delivered these new modules, and the response has been overwhelming:

"I thought that the last fact pattern exercise was excellent. Being able to experience exactly how difficult a decision would be, and how the decision may have seemed so straightforward at first, was very enlightening."
Module: The Board's Role in Strategic Planning

“I now have a better understanding of what information the Board wants from report writers. The Facilitator had excellent knowledge of the subject.”
Modules: Key Characteristics of Effective Reports/Presentations; Individual (and Collective) Contribution to Effective Meetings; Design your Approach to Effective Board/Committee Meetings; Putting Your Director Hat On

“Interactive and educational session. Very well organized with the group activities and break out rooms. We had the ability to learn, observe, discuss and collaborate.”
Modules: Board Composition; Succession Planning Tools; Nominating Committee Practices; We All Have a Hand in Renewal

Our flexible approach means we can tailor the education to your board's needs when your board needs it. Email academy@watsoninc.ca to find the education that’s right for you.
