Cheryl Campbell, Kemi Arogundade and Helen Burge from ABBLed join me for the third and final part of a special series of podcasts discussing the hot topics that SBLs are dealing with right now.
In Part 3, we're talking about what the role of SBL is all about, the three core elements – day to day, reactionary and strategic - how to unpack the ISBL standards, the SBL role in relation to change and developing culture and why you’re actually more strategic than you think…
