GM Systems Leadership: TED Talk Cinema Club – What is good governance?
Wednesday 14 May, 12.00-13.00, online via Zoom.
Ben Warner’s TED Talk, “What is Good Governance?” explores the principles of effective governance and its impact on society. He argues that good governance is not just about rules and policies but about fostering trust, accountability, and inclusivity.
The purpose of this session is to:
- Explore the principles of effective governance through Ben Warner’s TED Talk
- Connect people across GM working with governance
- Share practice learning and ideas for people to take away and work out what this means for them locally.
Macc, on behalf of 10GM, is leading the current phase of the GM Moving Systems Leadership approach.

Shape the next VCSE Data and Intelligence Peer Learning Network meeting
Almost all of us in the VCSE sector work with data every day. When we manage, analyse and use data better, we are able to target services more effectively, deliver them more efficiently, and influence key partners. The next VCSE Data and Intelligence Peer Learning Network meeting will be focused on how to approach data in smaller and less resourced VCSE organisations. Because we want the Network to be a collective space with shared ownership, we’d like to invite you to our codesign session on 17 April to develop and structure the June peer learning network meeting.
