Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bridging Science and Business in Deep Tech with Phil Morle, Chair @ V2 Foods, Samsara Eco & Eden Brew; Partner, Main Sequence Ventures
Q: How do you ensure the board understands which parts of the science to focus on?
We establish a structure where the board concentrates on the levers that unlock commercial milestones, and the science team regularly presents enough detail to inform those decisions without requiring every director to become a scientist.
Bridging Science and Business in Deep Tech with Phil Morle, Chair @ V2 Foods, Samsara Eco & Eden Brew; Partner, Main Sequence Ventures
Q: What kind of metrics do you use when traditional financial metrics don't apply to science-driven companies?
We track science-centric milestones like titers alongside production costs and introduce milestones that unlock commercial opportunities, ensuring the board papers show a clear path from scientific progress to market and capital outcomes.
Effective Transformation Governance with Julie Coates, Director, Scentre Group & Wesfarmers & Former CEO, CSR
Q: What governance structures did you put in place to keep the program on track and ensure the board got what it needed without becoming a distraction?
We set up a formal governance framework including a steering committee, an explicit program office, and business sponsors for each workstream, with clear roles for the board to oversee strategy and progress, while management handled day-to-day execution and KPI tracking.
Effective Transformation Governance with Julie Coates, Director, Scentre Group & Wesfarmers & Former CEO, CSR
Q: So briefly, could you outline why that transformation was needed and what was involved?
The transformation was needed to unify the business under a OneCSR approach, break down silos, enhance top-line growth and margin, and create a more efficient organization through reorganizing teams, building a world-class supply chain, and investing in enabling systems like CRM and transport management.
Matters Arising that Actually Matter with Julie Coates, Director, Wesfarmers & Former CEO & Managing Director, CSR
Q: What cadence or process helped maintain alignment on actions in CSR's governance structure?
CSR used a calendar-based approach tied to strategy planning, mapping actions to the remainder of the year so the board knew when to expect outcomes, which helped set expectations and maintain strategic focus.
