Shownotes
Today on the Take on Board podcast, I share my conversation with Jo Smith. This chat was part of the November Take on Board breakfast event. Jo joined me to talk about her research report, New Zealand Boards and Frontier Firms. She shares some lessons from the research around board composition and strategic decision-making.
Jo is an economist by training. She specialises in applied research and analysis, particularly qualitative and mixed method studies. She has spent much of her career as a consultant, first at the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research, and then with research group Sapir.
She has considerable experience in program evaluation for clients in the government, private and community-based sectors and across Asia Pacific. Jo is now a principal advisor at the New Zealand Productivity Commission, where she works on major inquiries into productivity related issues.
There were several questions from women who are board aspirants. If you are a non-executive director (current or past board member), I’m is accepting applicants for the 2021 Take on Board: Accelerator program.
