Short films
During our round table sessions with members of supervisory boards, we often feature short films. The scenarios used are based on actual situations. The central figures are members of the supervisory board who are facing huge dilemmas. The short films have been produced by PwC in the Netherlands. In 2009, ‘Risking it all’ received a Legal Services Award from the Financiele Dagblad in the category ‘Most Innovative In-house Lawyers Product’.
Experience shows that films are a perfect way to illustrate and clarify situations. Furthermore, they provoke discussion and debate.
More or less
More or Less is a film about mergers and acquisitions and highlights the role of the supervisory board and the dilemmas it may face. More or Less is also a film about board dynamics, supply of information, possible conflicts of interest and the role of the chair.
