Shownotes
Today on the Take on Board podcast, I’m speaking with Sandra Davey about governing transformation and treating change as an ongoing pattern rather than a one-off project.
A director at auDA (au Domain Administration), Screenrights Australia, and The Australian Centre for Social Innovation, Sandra has also chaired and served on boards, including the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association and CHOICE. She helps bridge executives and boards amid rapid digital change.
Sandra discusses her path into governance, including an early board role tied to auDA’s creation, and lessons from leading CHOICE through a multi-year transformation funded by cash reserves, with clear goals, outcomes, and metrics. She identifies six patterns that derail change: culture, leadership, unclear outcomes, misaligned risk, fragmented funding, and overloaded teams. She also considers how AI adoption is prompting board questions about burnout, anxiety, and cultural leading indicators.
