In this episode, Mark Banicevich asks Paul Brown about board reporting – specifically about converting data, to knowledge, to wisdom and insight. Paul describes key features of an effective board report, and how data can be summarised into clear and concise insights for board members. Mark asks about the types of questions board members should ask to derive deeper insights from reports, and how boards can move beyond data and knowledge to wisdom. They discuss the importance of the governance framework, and what structures should be in place to assure materially credible information is reported to the board.

His governance experience includes Stephenson & Turner architects and engineers, Emergency Alliance, Independent Living Services, Panuku Development Auckland and Council for International Development NZ.
