When does an advisory board or board of directors make sense?

Is it time for a professional board of directors?
21. April

At this event, BCB and Erhvervshus Hovedstaden are focusing on how companies can use an active board of directors or an advisory board as a lever for growth, development and stronger strategic decisions.

You will encounter research, concrete experiences, and practical pathways into the work:

      • Jette P. Jørgensen between Centre for Owner-Managed Businesses at CBS shares insights from the centre's research and latest analyses of Danish owner-managed companies.
      • Birgitte Lie Suhr Jessen tells how WeBoard helps businesses get started with an advisory board – including through the opportunity of a free advisory board for one year. Birgitte has herself been through the process as a business owner and today helps others move forward as a volunteer.
      • In addition, you meet a business panel of Bornholm business owners, who already has experience of working with a professional board. Here you get honest perspectives on the considerations prior to the decision, the reservations along the way and the value it has created in practice.

Among the panellists already are:
Small Batch, Hasle Refractories Original Team Bornholm.

This event is for you if you are curious about whether a board of directors or an advisory board could be the next step for your business – and if you would like to hear both facts and experiences before making a decision.

You walk home with:

      • any insights into how Danish companies work with boards of directors and advisory boards
      • practical experiences from business owners who have taken the plunge themselves
      • inspiration on how you can strengthen strategy, sparring and decision-making power in your own business
