CPD
A practical, interactive workshop exploring the four pillars and best practice governance.
The objective of this session is to assist the development of emerging directors through an introduction to governance, building governance awareness in an interactive environment. Experienced directors will guide discussions around the Four Pillars of Governance Best Practice which provides essential guidance on best practice governance, global trends and the contemporary operating environment in New Zealand.
On completion, participants will have a sound fundamental understanding of governance best practice, boosting their confidence to undertake more formal director training such as the one-day Essentials courses for aspiring and new directors.
Preparation
A workbook will be emailed two weeks prior and it is expected of each participant to familiarise themselves with the reading and exercises around each of the Pillars (please bring your workbook – either electronic or hardcopy – to the session).
Who should register?
The workshop is ideally suited for mid to senior-level executives and new directors on commercial, not-for-profit (NFP) and Crown-owned boards. It will provide a unique opportunity to learn from a number of New Zealand’s senior director practitioners, share experience and network with other like-minded business people. You should ideally have some governance experience, but not have completed any of the IoD governance development courses.
The session is limited to 28 participants. Drinks and light dinner will be served.
