This KC Academy Strategy Governance for Board training course is intended for Board Directors and Senior Managers who wish to grapple with good governance and strategic leadership. Sound governance is more than a ‘nice to have’, it delivers better results and outcomes as well as ensuring that regulatory demands are met.

It requires risks to be assessed, procedures to be complied with and an impartial audit function to ensure compliance and deliver improvements.

To uphold the pillars of good governance requires sound policies and procedures combined with a supporting leadership culture cascaded throughout the organisation. Delegates attending this training course will learn about theory and good practice. Through case study examples, the practices of excellent organisations will be reviewed. There will be ample opportunity to examine the hard and soft skills needed by leaders in implementing sound strategic governance practices.

This Strategy Governance for Board training course will highlight:

  • Key principles of Corporate Governance
  • Enterprise Risk Management embedded in Governance
