Episode description

In this episode Steven talks with Dr. Peter Stevens, Chief Executive of GS1 NZ, an organisation which develops global standards and solutions to improve the efficiency and visibility of supply chains globally. Peter has also sat on a number of boards across the education and not-for-profit sectors. 

In this episode, Peter notes that boards need to know where they are heading and to set the direction of travel. Board meetings should be front-loaded with what is ahead of the organisation when directors are fresh, rather than being fixated on reporting what has happened in the past. He also challenges boards to ensure they have the right skills at the board table and asks "where are the scientists and engineers on our boards?"
