Non Executive Directors
Many Public Sector Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) are appointed through “interested parties”. Often there is confusion over where the demarcation between executive and non-executive activity should be. You need to be sure your NEDs put the interests of your organisation first – by keeping them fully involved and feeling that they are making a difference.
In the Private Sector, the role of a Non-Executive Director is often misunderstood and maybe as a result, under utilised. In the “Review of the Role and Effectiveness of Non-Executive Directors”, Sir Derek Higgins recommended that by ensuring sufficient emphasis on both the conformance and performance aspects of their role, Non-Executives can make a contribution
Whether in the public or private sector, the role of NEDs is legally the same but the extent to which Non-Executives are used in the public sector is significantly different to the private sector as is what is expected of them.
pbas have therefore, differentiated their programmes to suit each group.
