CFOs play a crucial role in vendor and contract lifecycle management (VCLM) to protect the bottom line and generate more value for the organisation. But working with vendor-focused teams can be challenging due to siloed ways of working. VCLM breaks down those silos and creates connections across the entire business. With enhanced visibility, control, and compliance, CFOs can protect and enhance the company's financial health. Learn more about VCLM and its impact on modern financial leadership. https://hubs.ly/Q02fgnHM0

A valuable tool for all Boards!

Directors - both new and experienced – often struggle with differentiating their role from that of management. As a board member – whatever the nature of the organization you serve – you want to get a handle on your governance role. The traditional advice is that there’s a bright line between the role of the board and that of management. It’s an attractive idea, but the reality is not that simple. https://lnkd.in/dP7H2isQ

As you may know, the Quoted Companies Alliance updated its Code in 2023 (‘the Code’). One of the key changes to the Code included a provision that a Company must perform a Board Evaluation on an annual basis. An independent Board Evaluation provides a unique opportunity to identify and address the key challenges that can impact effectiveness, ensuring that all members of the Board work together as a high-performing team. AMBA can provide you with a confidential, impartial and highly effective service that enables your Board to understand any issues, identify strengths and opportunities for further improvement. This in turn will help to assure the long-term success and future viability of your Company. An AMBA Board evaluation provides particular focus on: • Board structure and composition • Functioning of Board meetings • Board dynamics • Leadership • Diversity • Stakeholder engagement • Governance arrangements • Strategic oversight • Risk management • Structure, effectiveness and composition of Board committees • Succession planning AMBA can offer a range of evaluations depending on your requirements. Contact AMBA to discuss the right one for your Board’s specific needs. To speak directly with a member of the team, please connect with them here on LinkedIn or contact us directly.

Jennifer Collins, the President and Owner of JDC Events, is a wildly successful and charismatic business leader. While the event industry obviously took a massive hit during the pandemic, Jennifer was determined that her business would survive the crisis – not to mention that she continued to pay her team as they awaited the return to normal.   How was Jennifer and her business able to make it through? A big factor, she says, is that she had joined a TAB Board several years before.   Jennifer says, "When I started on my TAB Board, one of the first things we did was work on strategic planning. This included a risk management component."   All that groundwork she worked on with her board and business coach really paid off and Jennifer’s business is once again thriving.   To learn more about Jennifer, her business, and her TAB Board experience, read this Member Case Study from The Alternative Board (TAB).   https://lnkd.in/es-SA69D   #tabboards #businesscoaching #strategicplanning
