The Board are considering matters that; are written at a low operational level, are too long and don’t provide strategic context, are poor quality, do not clearly outline what the author requires of the board, they do not clearly outline how the matter being considered links to strategic risks for the organisation. The Board members have great subject knowledge, but are too operational and are not considering the strategic context.
