Hello!
Here’s your weekly brief of Executive with a Cause, a list of the people, ideas and technology I’m exploring for purpose-driven leaders.
In this Edition: Cybersecurity checklist for NFP directors, lessons we can learn from Netball Australia’s failed sponsorship, CIOs, CTOs…and More!
Actions I am sharing:
- AICD and Cyber Security Cooperate Research Centre just release a set of Cyber Security Governance Principles for Directors. Check out Appendix D: SME and Not for Profit Director Checklist.
What I’m reading:
- How Not for Profits can benefit from data science.
What I’m wondering:
- What can Not for Profits learn about Netball Australia’s failed sponsorship relationship? My thoughts: be clear about your values before signing agreements and beware of becoming overly dependent on a single donor and sponsor. What lessons would you add to my list?
What I’m thinking about: IT in Plain English:
- What’s the difference between a CIO and a CTO?
Whom I’m chatting with:
- Martin Fisk, CEO of Menslink about funding efficiencies, board risk appetite and the positive multiplier effect of reducing the stigma associated with men’s mental health
Quotes I’m sharing:
- “Human beings are hardwired to get excited about instant results. But our hard problems in science and society are not going to get solved overnight.” – Eric Braverman, CEO of Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic venture.
