What to look for and how to manage your NEDs
This workshop will provide a useful overview of the value that can be added by NEDs
in small or early stage businesses, as well as talks on how to find and select NEDs
and how to manage your NEDs.
With expert commentary from the UK's leading NED advisor and panels of CEOs
and NEDs from relevant businesses, this highly interactive session will allow you to
gather insights from a diverse range of people with a wealth of experience to share.
If you are the Chair, Chief Executive, Finance Director or Company Secretary of a
growing business, or deeply involved with or advising one in your role as a
Technology Transfer professional, then this event will help you to understand how
you can assess the effectiveness of your company’s board and the value that
qualified independent non-executive directors can add.
