Understand what it means to be a director of a board and how to push for governance success.
Good governance is part of any well-managed organization. As represented by a board of directors, corporate governance starts with a board that oversees the activities of the organization. A good approach to governance allows the board to focus on larger issues, delegate with authority, rigorously evaluate organizational accomplishments, and lead, in a strategic sense.
In a highly interactive and engaging format, using dilemmas, short case studies, and scenarios from a variety of sectors, this session will provide new and prospective board members with a high-level introduction to organizational governance. This course will put you in the driver’s seat and allow you to reflect on how your board or committee may need to engage on diverse challenges.
Regardless of whether you are operating in the for-profit, not-for-profit, or government sector, understanding the processes, structures, and relationships that make up good governance is vital for organizational success.
