Introduction to the course
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.
