Course Overview

Faced with increasingly complex oversight challenges and demands for greater transparency, how can today’s boards do more for their companies? In this board of directors Mini-MBA program, you will gain a deeper understanding of the board’s responsibilities in areas such as financial resilience, strategic direction, executive compensation, and regulatory compliance. At the same time, you will learn how to work more effectively with fellow directors and company management to strengthen governance, achieve performance, manage unexpected crises, and make decisions that drive long-term corporate success.

Key Benefits

This corporate governance program is based on the premise that there is no one best way for boards to operate—rather, each board must develop practices that suit the unique needs of its company and management. As you examine the latest thinking on the internal function of corporate boards, interaction with management, and overall board relations, you will discover how to enhance and focus your own board’s efforts.
