Changing the Chemistry (SCIO)

Changing the Chemistry (CtC) seeks to increase diversity of thought in the boardroom (diversity of thought encompasses identity, cognitive and experiential diversity). Evidence demonstrates that increasing board diversity improves the performance of organisations and can thereby also benefit the wider economy. CtC operates as a Scottish head-quartered charitable voluntary mutual peer-support network made up of a multi-talented group drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds seeking to improve board effectiveness. Our unique approach is that we share the responsibility to help each other, volunteering our time and skills in a peer-to-peer support network. We do not charge a membership fee but members are asked to contribute in kind. We provide practical support to members who you will recognise by their energy, skills, achievements, insight and potential to contribute. 1. Our members receive the skills, confidence and knowledge to secure a non-executive Board position. 2. Our members receive support to ensure they are an asset to any Board they sit on, and organisation they represent. 3. We promote the benefits of a diverse Board to organisations throughout Scotland, the UK and potentially beyond. 4.We support organisations in increasing the diversity, efficiency and functionality of their Board. By our 10th anniversary in August 2021, over 290 board roles have been filled by members of CtC and over 30 board Chairs! Find out more about becoming a member or working with us - visit our website.
