Being a board member is a very different role from being a senior executive and brings with it added complexity and unique responsibilities. To successfully carry out a board mandate, directors must have a general understanding of the company’s business operations and an appreciation of corporate governance best practices.
Prepare yourself for your next board appointment by signing up for our short high-impact director development programme. This programme gives you an essential peek into the composition and functioning of a corporate board and what you need to do to be ready to step into the important role of a director.
