Programme Content
The Value Creation Through Effective Boards program focuses on improving boardroom effectiveness through the discussion of the role of the board, the importance of business strategy, the impact of the regulatory environment and ESG factors, crisis management, and how you can enhance your performance and the value of your contributions as a board member.
Each of these critical topics will be examined through focused lectures and in-depth case studies. You and a group of distinguished peers will examine how effective boards build positive relationships and efficient processes.
You will examine the most relevant strategic and organizational issues facing boards of directors today. Real case discussions and challenges taken from companies in diverse industries will drive home the need for transparency, trust, and close cooperation between board members and the management team.
The program will tackle the following issues:
Role of the Board How well does your board understand its responsibilities? You will discuss how to design the most appropriate board structure, processes and complement of directors, as well as how to recruit, motivate and compensate the CEO. You will also learn how to maximize cooperation between board members and the management team.
Business Strategy Is your company’s strategy sound and profitable? If the business strategy is not working, the board is responsible for fixing it. You will explore ways for the board to work actively and constructively with management to solve problems while avoiding value destruction.
Crisis Management You will explore strategies for addressing emergencies that could destroy your company, including the departure of the CEO, hostile or friendly takeovers, poor management of ESG factors, environmental disasters, and shareholder fraud or other gross malfeasance.
The Dynamics of Influence You will acquire proven frameworks to elevate the effectiveness of your board meetings by refining the discussion and decision-making processes, and establishing guidelines to ensure that they are conducted more efficiently.
