Overview
With the current global and local business challenges such as rising cost of doing business, policy uncertainty and unpredictability, liquidity problems, rising unemployment, poverty and Covid 19 pandemic, the need for a re-think of business strategies and effective management of business problems to achieve sustainable profitability, growth and performance cannot be over-emphasized. As the senior management/board is central to the development and execution of robust strategies, it is pertinent that they are constantly abreast with key issues and developments not only in their but in both local and global economy.
As the senior management/board is central to the development and execution of robust strategies, it is pertinent that they are constantly abreast with key issues and developments not only in their industry but in both local and global economy.
However, while awareness of the key economic/business issues is important, it is not sufficient. Surviving and growing a business in the current turbulent business environment will require not only the awareness of key issues but also a holistic understanding of the complex correlation among the different types of business issues/challenges and the role of senior management/board in ensuring continued growth and superior performance of the firm within an effective corporate governance framework and practice. To perform such key strategic and leadership responsibilities, it is immensely important that the board/senior management is conversant with key and emerging corporate governance issues.
These include the role of the board/senior management in strategy formulation and execution, board/management relationship and enterprise-wide risk management, board performance and evaluation, board committees & executive compensation, succession planning and stakeholders’ engagement, board/director development and sustainability, leadership/managing in the 21st century and business continuity, and role of leadership and tone at the top.
At the end of the programme, participants will achieve a better understanding of the need and importance of effective corporate governance and then the pertinent responsibility of the board/senior management in enthroning robust and effective corporate governance through.
