Mr. David Gunning:

My experience of this over 40 years or so is that there are two Venn diagrams here, that is, what the organisations needs and what the individual, without personalising it, seeks to do. I would have discussed the need for some further governance training, which is what we are here to discuss, and come to that conclusion. My participation in the course was approved by the board and the need identified through my performance management discussions with the chair.
