  • Understand the hierarchy of decision-making and who can make decisions.
  • Be able to create practical work plans that increase board, executive and committee efficiency.
  • Speak confidently about the purpose of board policies and how they’re approved.

This course is ideal if you’re in an existing director, new director, or company secretary who needs to know how to develop a corporate governance handbook.
