Fit for the Future
If you are an aspiring director, or a director who wants to make sure you are up to speed on latest practice, then this course is for you.
Today's business environment requires Board directors to combine their innate curiosity with the ability to listen to others and then articulate future business scenarios for the benefit of the organisation.
Learning the implications of becoming a Board member can help you to perform more effectively for your business or organisation.
About the course
At the end of this 2 day programme, you will understand your role as a Board director and have developed the confidence to ask those simple but telling questions in the Boardroom.
Facilitated by David Duffy (founder of The Governance Company and The Corporate Governance Institute), the Corporate Governance Bootcamp aims to inform participants of the implications of becoming a Board member and how they can perform most effectively for their business or organisation.
You will work on real life Irish and international governance case studies and discover what can be learnt from them through discussing the latest business developments that may affect directors and looking at videos on key Corporate Governance issues.
An essential feature of this programme is the focus on attributes that make a SMART Board - overcoming corporate governance challenges and applying essential "building blocks" to make a great board.
