This week on the Take on Board podcast, I sharing my recap from the Climate Governance Forum in August 2024. It’s sponsored by AICD and these events are always fantastic for learning and networking. This year was no different.
Some of the major moments for me are when speakers emphasized the importance of climate governance as a critical transformation since the Industrial Revolution. So we need to pay attention.
There were takeaways that are important for boards: including the recent passage of a climate-related financial disclosure scheme, mandatory climate reporting, and the integration of sustainability into business operations.
The forum highlighted the need for organizations to understand their environmental footprint, set targets, and address stakeholder views. The importance of nature-positive principles and regenerative practices was also stressed.

Today on the Take on Board podcast I’m speaking with Dominique Hes about how an organisation that has never had a long term strategy got started.
This is a ‘bonus episode’ in the Take on Board deep dive into strategy. Dominique reached out to me with a good story to tell, so we’re here to share it!
Dominique is on the board and Chair of Greenfleet. She has formerly been on the boards of Living Futures Institute of Australia and Trust for Nature.
Dominique is an author, educator, policy advisory and regenerative thinker. She started researching and writing on regenerative development, biophilia and placemaking in 2005, working in sustainability since 1994. Her focus is on real projects, on the ground and all the messy conversations that enable it to evolve and resolute with place. She is a board director and chair of Greenfleet and on the Circular Economy Ministerial Advisory Group.
PLEASE NOTE: Whilst we are talking about strategy … I also need to do a trigger warning on this episode where we touch on child abduction and PTSD. If you’d like to avoid that part of the discussion, we’ll make a note in the show notes about when you can skip to. It’s likely to be at around the 10m mark, after the introduction part. Or, of course, just skip this episode if these topics will be challenging for you, or tune in and reach out for support if you need it.

This week on the Take on Board podcast, I am sharing an episode from The Westminster Tradition, a podcast I love and listen to regularly. I was listening to one of their episodes from April 2024 and thought, 'I have to share all this governance goodness with the Take on Board Community'. So I reached out to the hosts of The Westminster Tradition and they gave me the go-ahead. So this week, that's what we're doing.
_____
“Lack of good governance is why good people did bad things at Essendon Football Club”. So says Lindsay Tanner, former Minister for Finance, and President of the Essendon Football Club from 2015.
In this mini-series, Caroline tries to convince us there are lessons for public servants from the Essendon Football Club supplement scandal in 2013.
In this episode, we talk about what happened in Essendon itself. The dangers of charismatic new leaders, new brooms through an organisation, and a failure to take controls and risk management seriously.
Referenced in this episode:
• Lindsay Tanner ‘Governance lessons from the Essendon scandal’
•The Long Haul podcast, Episode Two: Inside the Blackest Day
•Ziggy Switkowski report into failures of governance at Essendon Football Club
•Dr Bruce Reid letter to Essendon Football Club about his concerns about the supplement regime
Intro grab is Lindsay Tanner, Governance lessons from the Essendon scandal.
Outro grab is Nathan Lovett-Murray and Emma Murray, The Long Haul podcast, Episode Two: Inside the Blackest Day.

This week on the Take on Board podcast, I am making space for S.P.A.C.E...
Many of you will know from my first Ideas to Action this year that my word for 2024 is ‘space’. For me, it was about ‘leaving space in the cup’. Space to grow and learn. Space to be.
Like water in a stream moving around rocks and trees, space in the cup will mean I’m feeling in flow, at ease.
The practical things I put in place to help me leave space were to use Pomodoro method for productivity and to engage a coach for accountability.
And because I love an acronym... I am taking my 2023 R.S.V.P and making some S.P.A.C.E.
