Course description
Governance, purpose and risk open workshop
Did Covid catch your business off-guard? Was it an unpleasant reminder of the fact that we live in a VUCA world? Or was it the sort of risk that was already on your radar? Were you, in fact, quick to identify it as an opportunity? Or did you just find yourself in fire-fighting mode?
Your answers to these questions may indicate the level of your board’s governance maturity. The more mature, the easier it will have been rising to the challenge.
If you can’t say ‘yes’ to all these questions, you need to do something about it. Our Governance, Purpose and Risk workshop will help you.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
This interactive and participative workshop is designed for directors, leaders, senior managers, and decision-makers. Your personal level of board experience and the size and nature of your business are irrelevant – the need for clarity of focus in a constantly changing world is the same.
