Board member training and next generation directors
What are board members?
Members of the board are the fiduciaries who steer the company towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies. You must also ensure the company has adequate resources and the necessary talent to accomplish its mission.
Your role as a board member
Your role will be to help determine the company’s vision and mission, and to set the pace for its current operations and future development. Along with reviewing company goals and directing company policies, you will determine the values that should be promoted throughout the company.
Skills required by board members
To fulfil your responsibilities effectively, you must possess qualities such as honesty, integrity, independent decision-making, and objectivity. Knowing how a board works is also essential. Having a seat on a board of directors is a commitment that cannot be taken lightly.

Do you have more questions about the role of board member?
As a board member, how do I challenge a CEO in the right way? This is a much-asked question by board members, particularly newer non-executive directors. The daunting reality is that critical decisions made by intelligent, responsible people with the best information and intentions are sometimes hopelessly flawed.
Boards across most western economies and industrialised nations are currently on a hiring spree. Nonetheless, there’s a difference between sitting in a boardroom and being an influential director with the right mindset. Having an effective board can make a big difference in the performance of an organisation.
This Webinar will be presented by David Duffy. Directors who do not pull their weight in the boardroom are taking up space for someone who can. Boards need to address this issue head-on. If it is left to fester, it undermines the moral authority of the chair and may put off viable candidates from joining the board.

The purpose, content and tone of the Diploma from the Corporate Governance Institute are compelling. The Diploma has really brought to life my understanding of how governance works.
