Listen "Meredith Doig OAM"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, FORWARD development partner Daniel Bluzer-Fry talks to Senior Industry Fellow Meredith Doig OAM.
Meredith is a professional company director and governance consultant. She has sat on boards of a variety of commercial and not-for-profit organisations along with university councils. Meredith is also fellow at the Australian Institute of Company Directors and for five years took their flagship Company Directors course.
In this conversation, Meredith reflects and shares insights across a breadth of her experiences - ranging from being Australia’s first chief motorcycling instructor, her work facilitating with the Cranlana program, through to her role on the Higher Education Council in the 1990s.
“One of the things that the Cranlana program did really really well was allow people to discuss together but in depth and at length. I think one of the disadvantages of the technology that we have these days is that there is so much information coming at us all the time, that it’s really easy to just read the surface information, and not to get into those elongated conversations from which you can actually garner or call it wisdom, maybe just learning lessons”
