A recent study of high-performing boards conducted by BoardSource found that many had gone far beyond mastery of basic legal, fiduciary and strategic planning responsibilities—they were actively engaging members in creative idea generation relating to all aspects of organizational governance.

These so-called “Generative” boards understand the value and potential of the fresh new ideas that can emerge from stimulated, fully engaged and empowered board members. “Building a High Performance Board” features a panel of experts, arts organization leaders and board colleagues who will describe and illustrate—in practical and actionable terms—how a “Generative” approach to board dynamics and governance can be a key to turning your own board from good to great!

This Arts & Business Council of Chicago workshop is a particular “must-attend” for senior managers and board leaders of arts organizations large, small and in-between. Come and join the dialogue!

At this workshop our experts will explore:
•    Traditional fiduciary vs. advanced strategic mode of governance
•    Governance as thought leadership; not just oversight
•    Establishing the environment for generating new ideas and methods
•    Posing new questions (or asking old questions in new ways)
•    Reframing governance challenges and ideas using proven creative and generative problem-solving techniques
And more…
