Professional development miniseries: Francie Doolan asks do you have the skills to govern in a changing world?
Episode description
Today on the Take on Board podcast, I'm speaking with Francie Doolan about the Small Giants Academy, Governing for Purpose program.
Francie has been working with boards since her early twenties, wearing many different hats over the last 25 years.
So, having to switch between lots of different mindsets is something she talks more about in our conversation. She has been a consultant from big four professional service firm reporting to listed boards. She's held management roles as CEO and CFO, reported to boards, served as a board director and board chair and acted as a committee member and facilitator.
Francie sits on the board of Impact Funds Management, so it's pretty heavy on the compliance. And then also on the board of many for-purpose boards, including Small Giants Academy. Outside of the Small Giants ecosystem, Francie sits on the board of RIAA, the Responsible Investment Association Australasia, and she's a governor with WWF Australia. So, all of those years of experience and different hats and mindsets are baked into the Governing for Purpose program, which she's excited to tell us more about today
