Perth Directors’ Briefing - Adaptive Strategy: From Plan to Performance

In today’s fast-moving and increasingly unpredictable environment, the challenge is no longer just setting a strategy, it’s ensuring it remains relevant, responsive and on track. Geopolitical shifts, economic uncertainty and rapid market changes mean strategies can quickly become outdated or neglected. As a result, boards must maintain visibility of strategy execution in real time, which requires a more active form of oversight from directors. One that connects strategic intent to delivery, while maintaining clear governance boundaries.

This session will explore how leading boards are doing this in practice, sharing approaches, frameworks and real-world insights that directors can apply to strengthen oversight of strategy execution, including how to maintain real-time visibility of performance, respond to shifting conditions, and ensure strategy delivers in practice, not just on paper. This dynamic panel discussion will bring together leaders from the not-for-profit and for-profit sectors to share how boards are strengthening their oversight of strategy in a constantly changing environment.
 

Key discussion areas include:

• Monitoring progress and ensuring strategy is delivered beyond the planning phase
• What effective board reporting and metrics look like to support real-time oversight
• Navigating and adapting to changing conditions while maintaining alignment to strategic priorities
