Benefits of hosting an in-house / customised course are:

  • Date and time can be arranged to suit all board members (eg. to coincide with a scheduled board meeting)
  • Issues to be discussed are specific to an organisation and its board. The presenter will be familiar with the organisation's dynamics, size, structure and operations, resulting in a more efficient and focused session
  • Potential "away-day" for board members, helping to promote informal board discussion on company-specific matters
  • The Chairman can effectively monitor the board's educational development and identify key areas for future discussion

Topics are designed to suit a board's needs. The following topics can be covered. This list is not exhaustive and topics can be added or subtracted as required:

  • Regulatory Developments
  • Legal Responsibilities
  • Role of Directors & Company Boards
  • Finance for Non-Finance Directors
  • Role & Function of Audit Committees
  • Risk Management
  • Business Strategy & Company Boards
  • Boardroom Effectiveness
  • Role of Directors in Improving Business Performance
