Become a Smarter and More Effective Leader

Rapidly acquire the skills you need to lead and strengthen your organisation’s governance.

Corporate governance in any organisation would be ineffective if it didn’t have the appropriate structures and procedures in place. The governance architecture is a foundation stone of good corporate governance. Leaders who understand these structures, who know how a board should actually run, and who should be on the board, are in demand.

  • Fully understand the necessary elements for effective governance.
  • Confidently speak about how governance architecture aligns with your strategy and helps with stakeholders.
  • Be clear about the purpose and function of different board committees.

This course is ideal if you’re in a mid to senior-level role, or a Company Secretary who needs to know how to build an effective board architecture.
