  • Making carve-out deals a success

    Making carve-out deals a success
    Mar 26 2024
    In this podcast, Ben Fielding, Head of Sales for Global Entity Management at TMF Group, talks about the challenges facing organisations in carve-out situations. Ben explains that these deals usually involve part of a large business being sold, and therefore ‘carved-out’, to allow it to get the attention and investment it needs to be successful. Ben outlines the importance of timelines and planning to make the transition period smooth for both clients and employees. Among other things, this involves understanding local requirements and cultural quirks and factoring in the time it takes to set up a bank account.

  • The Evolution of AGMs

    The Evolution of AGMs
    Jan 30 2024
    In this podcast Peter Fowler, Managing Director at Lumi UK, looks at how annual general meetings (AGMs) are changing. Peter believes the hybrid format is the most effective because it allows physical and virtual attendance and provides equal opportunity for all shareholders to participate and put questions to the board. Hybrid meetings also allow the board to construct a more thematic Q&A session and give the company more opportunities to manage potential disruption from activist shareholders. Peter also describes how the move to virtual or hybrid meetings coupled with the priorities of the modern-day shareholder are refocussing the event on true business matters.

  • Collective intelligence

    Collective intelligence
    Jan 9 2024
    In this podcast, Jennifer Sundberg, Co-CEO of Board Intelligence, discusses her company’s theory of collective intelligence, which advocates moving away from superstar CEOs and board-centric decision-making to recognising the whole organisation’s potential to make great decisions. In practice this means applying Board Intelligence’s core principles throughout a business not just in the boardroom. For example, asking simple questions to spark critical thinking. Jen says we need to rediscover our childhood tendency to ask questions and unlearn writing conventions that stop us communicating clearly. She adds that the approach is particularly important now when the ability to move fast and take quick decisions is what sets a business apart.
