A one-day workshop
Do you know as much as you should about the role of the director? … and of the board?
Do your fellow directors know as much as they should?
And are you all working together as effectively as you could?
Are you being the best board you can be?
If you can’t say ‘yes’ to all these questions, you need to do something about it. This programme will help you fill in the gaps and point you in the right direction.
- A clearer understanding of the directors’ individual and collective liabilities and responsibilities – and the penalties of getting it wrong
- A better appreciation of how to apply the principles of corporate governance to help build an effective organisation
- An insight into how to balance the different aspects of the role – governance and entrepreneurship
- An opportunity to discuss with your fellow directors what you need to do next
