The Board Leadership Programme has arisen out of the recognition that there is a critical need in South Africa to enhance the opportunities for learning and development of directors and company secretaries (current and aspirant) in private and public companies as well as state owned organisations. This programme exposes participants to the latest thinking on board leadership, while equipping participants with the necessary procedural and process skills in the increasingly difficult area of boardroom interaction, leadership and decision making.
How you will benefit
The focus is on learning the technical aspects with faculty utilising appropriate case studies (local and international) and the process aspect is driven by current board members candidly sharing their experiences and knowledge. This creates a real time learning experience, enabling delegates to better understand and manage their role back in the work environment.
- gain insight into King III, the New Companies Act (2008) and the Consumer Protection Act.
- understand the changing expectations of directors and the personal consequences thereof
- conduct dynamic, constructive board meetings with time-efficient agendae
- compile appropriate documentation for board consideration
- improve your understanding of appropriate board structures and roles of members
- analyse the sourcing, selecting and remunerating of board members
- assess the evaluation and rewarding of board member performance
- understand the impact of global regulatory standards on company results
- discuss risk management and dealing with crises
- unpack corporate governance and ethics in business – what does it mean?
- learn how to effectively discharge your duties as a director and the incumbent legal responsibilities thereof
- gain the skills to effectively review the results and report to stakeholders
- manage the role of the board as change agent and strategic planner.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at directors (executive and non-executive) as well as company secretaries of public and private companies including state owned entities. Representatives of large shareholder groups and investor relations executives will also benefit.
