The Effective Board (Series: Board of Directors Boot Camp 2020) Financial Poise
All of us have had experiences of meetings that were painful to participate in. Lack of preparation, ineffective facilitation, or inability to move decisions forward can all lead to an ineffective board. With boards charged with a company’s most important strategic matters, no company can afford to waste valuable meeting time. In this discussion, we share practices that happen in real boardrooms that help equip directors to participate and lead to energized and productive debate that feeds the company’s success.

Running a productive and energized board meeting takes time and effort. Harnessing the expertise of board members while meeting the needs of the company is a balance that must be continually recalibrated by the board and company leadership. In this session, we will cover the process to achieve effective board practices ranging from board meeting formulation and preparation, board meeting execution and facilitation, and post-board meeting follow-up. The social aspects of a board will also be discussed – how to create engagement, teamwork, and camaraderie among board members to maximize their contribution.

Increasingly as companies look at acquisition targets, those acquisition targets operated on a multi-jurisdictional basis, and often the buyer and the seller will be from different jurisdictions themselves. This session looks at the key issues around cross Border M&A including the role of vendor due diligence, data rooms, conditionality, the approach to warranties and indemnities and limitations as well as the mechanics to deal with multiple closings and integration.
We live in a world where people conduct businesses in multiple countries. This creates a Multi-Jurisdictional conundrum for any client exposed to multiple jurisdictions:

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Have you ever wondered how search works while visiting an e-commerce site, internal website, or searching through other types of online resources? Look no further than this informative session on the ways that taxonomies help end-users navigate the internet! Hear from taxonomists and other information professionals who have first-hand experience creating and working with taxonomies that aid in navigation, search, and discovery across a range of disciplines.
2. 2
• Binding definitions in the Directive for an EWC
• But the Directive explicitly states: ‘In accordance with the principle of autonomy
of the parties, it is for the representatives of employees and the management of
the undertaking or the group’s controlling undertaking to determine by
agreement the nature, composition, the function, mode of operation,
procedures and financial resources of European Works Councils (…) so as to suit
their own particular circumstances.’ (Whereas 19).
• So it is up to the social partners to work out how they want to make the I&C
process work!
Information and Consultation
3. 3
Transmission of data by the Central Management to the EWC members in order to
enable them to acquaint themselves with the subject matter and to examine it.
Information shall be given
• at such time,
• in such fashion
• and with such content
• to enable employees’ representatives to undertake an in-depth assessment of
the possible impact
• and where appropriate, prepare for consultations with Central Management
Information:
4. 4
The establishment of dialogue and exchange of views between the EWC and Central
Management or any more appropriate level of management,
• at such time, in such fashion and with such content
• as to enable employees’ representatives to express an opinion on the basis of the
information provided about the proposed measures to which the consultation is
related
• without prejudice to the responsibilities of the management,
• and, within a reasonable time,
• which opinion may be taken into account in the decision making process.
Consultation:
5. 5
1. The right timing is a big issue. Management is concerned about delays if the
implementation of measures cannot be started in time, employee reps. want
enough time for the I&C process.
– the company should calculate back from the moment it wants to take the first
irreversible measures towards implementation of the proposal, asserting how much
time the EWC might reasonably claim for the I&C and start the I&C at that time at
the latest.
– Fixed timeframes for all kinds of foreseeable situations may be hard to agree
At least 8 Challenges to organise the process
of Information and Consultation
6. 6
• Information is defined as an obligation of management, consultation as a right that
the EWC can exert. The Directive contains no direct obligation for management to
ask for an Opinion of the EWC. Management must inform the EWC in such a way to
enable the EWC ‘where appropriate, to prepare for consultations’.
• The EWC therefore should indicate after having been informed that it thinks that
consultation should take place.
• However, management would be well advised to at least ask the EWC after having
informed it, whether the EWC think consultation should follow.
• In a strict interpretation of the directive, the company first has to give all necessary
information to the EWC and then the EWC will study it and come to an opinion.
• In practice decisions are of a general nature at first, and become more concrete in a
step-by-step process and by the time all information is there, the decision is fixed.
2. How and when does consultation begin
after information?
7. 7
• How to deal with the difference between ‘normal’ consultation and consultation
in case of extraordinary circumstances?
• What should be the proper content of the information; what is necessary
information, which level of detail is necessary, should this contain local detail?
• Obligation to link European and national I&C in certain cases.
• ‘How to deal with dynamics’? Within multinational companies there is less and
less purely local decision making, leading to more more transnational matters to
consult the EWC upon. How to comply when you have only 1-2 meetings?
• How to define ‘Significant’?
• If headquarters are situated outside Europe, or if the company is managed by
global business lines, managers responsible for the I&C with the EWC are
sometimes themselves not informed in time.
More Challenges….
