Most organisations know what good governance looks like. Far fewer manage to turn a code or a regulator's expectation into working practice that survives a change of chair. Over ten days, this programme treats governance reform as a project with owners, milestones and measures. You begin with a gap analysis against recognised codes and the OECD principles, then design the board structure, committee charters, delegation of authority, conflict of interest rules and board calendar that close those gaps.
The second week moves into delivery: stakeholder engagement, policy drafting, induction, board packs, evaluation, succession, risk and internal control oversight, and assurance. Applied labs let you test a rollout plan against realistic obstacles, and the final days integrate everything into a costed implementation plan. Company secretaries, directors, board committee members, chief executives, governance and compliance managers, internal auditors and state corporation or NGO board officers will gain most. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house, ending in a CPD-accredited certificate. You leave able to lead a governance programme from diagnosis to review.
Governance failures rarely come from the absence of a policy. They come from policies that were never owned, resourced or checked, and from boards that review compliance once a year rather than steer it. Investors, lenders, regulators and development partners increasingly ask not only whether an organisation has a code, but whether it can show that the code is applied and that the board knows the difference.
Planning and Implementation of Corporate Governance & Board Effectiveness Training Course is a ten-day programme for those responsible for making that happen. The first block diagnoses current practice, sets priorities and designs the governance framework: board composition, roles, committees, delegation, ethics and disclosure. The second block develops the tools for putting it into practice, including policy drafting, onboarding, meeting management, board information, evaluation and succession. Days six to ten deepen the work through risk and internal control oversight, shareholder and stakeholder engagement, performance and remuneration governance, crisis scenarios and an integrated project in which each participant builds a full implementation plan.
Learning is workshop-based. Participants analyse case files, draft documents, rehearse board discussions and receive structured feedback, so that the plan they present on the last day is realistic and ready to take back to their own board.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
