Course Topics

This programme is structured around four core segments, designed to comprehensively explore key governance themes and challenges. It is delivered through our cutting-edge education platform, TExEd, enabling us to provide flexibility to participants by blending live instruction with pre-recorded content and self-paced exercises.

This segment covers the foundations of modern governance, tracing the evolution of the boardroom and the creation of the limited company. Participants will explore the core purpose and role of the board, gaining clarity on their individual responsibilities as directors. This module lays the groundwork for understanding how effective governance drives strategic decision-making and organisational success.

In this segment, participants will dive into financial oversight within the boardroom, emphasising the integration of finance and strategy. Topics include the board’s role in financial decision-making, balancing risk and reward, and the principles of effective financial reporting. This segment enhances participants’ ability to align financial governance with strategic objectives for greater organisational success.

This segment explores the complexities of board dynamics, focusing on board composition, succession planning, and committee structures that align with long-term governance goals. Case studies and simulations will highlight key areas such as the Chair’s leadership, stakeholder engagement, and conflict resolution, offering practical insights into building a cohesive and effective boardroom.

The final segment addresses the evolving landscape of boardroom governance. Participants will explore the rising importance of ESG, regulatory frameworks, and risk management. This segment delves into the transformative effects of AI and technology, helping boards define their risk appetite and remain agile, compliant, and future-focused in a rapidly changing environment.
