Governance – Page 2 – LARSEN

And another thing: model (rule) minimums

When it comes to governance, what is the difference between what’s recommended and what is actually required?

And another thing: Strategic Plans vs strategic planning

When arts orgs and boards don’t know the difference between Strategic Plans and strategic planning, they risk focusing on self-perpetuation over purpose.

AI and arts governance in ArtsHub

Generative AI promises much in arts, cultural and non-profit governance. But beware, there are pitfalls ahead…

And another thing: from censorship to systemic change

Over the past 21 months, we’ve seen dozens of Australian arts and cultural organisations censor and silence the very artists and practitioners they rely upon for their work.

And another thing: AI and governance

Generative AI platforms like ChatGPT or Meta’s Llama 3 may seem like they’re free to the end user, but they always, always come at a price.

After last month’s mega Meta rant, my latest ‘and another thing’ vlog is an attempt at a quick(er) overview of some of the challenges with Generative AI that are causing real, practical and ethical concerns for boards and organisations, as well as the people who work within them, and the communities they represent and serve.

When boards and orgs don’t provide the accountability each other needs, it may fall on us to do so.

And another thing: the merit of merit

I’m spending February with my family on Gabrielino-Tongva-Kitz Lands just outside Los Angeles – which feels like a very different place since the last time I was here.

With everything going on, it seemed like an opportune moment to reflect on the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and the alleged merit of merit-based board and staff recruitment and quotas.

Community-engaged practice, for-purpose governance, along with arts and human rights advocacy were the key themes of my 2024 writing year.

Why (nearly) everything you thought you knew about boards and governance is wrong*

In October 2024, I was part of the line-up for TEDxCastlemaine with my provocation on why (nearly) everything you thought you knew about boards and governance is wrong.

And another thing: Co-CEOs

My latest ‘and another thing’ vlog is on one of the silver(ish) linings of the past few years – the trend towards more arts, cultural and for-purpose organisations restructuring away from impossible ‘magical unicorn’ roles that ask too much of a single CEO, including to more Co-CEO models.
