Strategy Meetings. In order to effectively fulfil its role as challenger, the board of directors has to be aware of the evolutions that are occurring, not only within the company, but within the entire sector.

These different strategy meetings all take around two days and have the main purpose of immersing the board members in new evolutions and innovations, such that, when specific decisions have to be made, the board better understands and is able to challenge the management more effectively.
