Better Corporate Governance - Professional Development for Aspiring Board Directors
Critical corporate governance capabilities for aspiring board directors.

Get on board
In this two-day programme, we use theatre re-enactment to help aspiring board directors, board executives and non-executive directors develop their understanding of the procedures and the tacit knowledge and capabilities critical to successful board-level engagement. Through an authentic simulation that brings to life real boardroom issues, the programme gives participants the opportunity to develop their expertise in real time in a risk-free environment.
Corporate governance is a set of policies, processes and structures used by the organisation to direct and control its activities, achieve its objectives and protect the interests of its diverse stakeholder groups.
