Aspiring Board members, Non-Executive Directors or senior executives who view Board level position as their next step. The programme is equally applicable to existing Board members who wish to improve their corporate governance skills.
About the course
"Corporate governance is a set of policies, processes and structures used by the organisation to direct and control its activities, achieve its objectives, and protect the interests of its diverse stakeholder groups.” IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors).
In this two day programme we use theatre re-enactment to help aspiring Board Directors, Board Executives and Non-Executive Directors develop their understanding of the procedures and the tacit knowledge and capabilities critical to successful board level engagement. Through an authentic simulation that brings to life real boardroom issues the programme gives participants the opportunity to develop their expertise in real time within a risk free environment.
