At the inaugural Global WiM Summit convened by International Women in Mining (iWiM) in early March 2021, Steven Bowman from Conscious Governance spoke regarding organisation leadership and engagement strategies. The following excerpt is from the post-event final report:
Seasoned global Board adviser Steven Bowman of Conscious Governance led a thought- provoking discussion on strategic management, encouraging attendees to tap into their sense of curiosity, overcome their own and others’ judgements and facilitate strategic conversations with other leaders and stakeholders. The key recommendation to achieve this is to place the organisation’s vision and strategic plan at the heart of discussions, by always considering changes to the organisation’s strategic environment, regularly reassessing or even redefining the top two strategic issues which “make or break” the next few years and focusing on creating the future rather than reporting on activity.
