Board Effectiveness for Non-Specialists

Executive Leadership|2 days|Classroom or live online

Board Effectiveness for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through crisis leadership and performance dialogue without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because board expectations of executive communication have risen sharply, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with strategic planning, corporate governance and stakeholder management in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do
