Training Course Overview
This Anderson training course is intended for middle and senior managers and directors wanting to understand best practice in Good Governance. Organisations with sound processes for developing, evaluating and reviewing their strategies, will also incorporate the management of risk. Good governance requires the top team to develop a clear strategic direction for the organisation, recognise the risk appetite of the Board and Senior Management Team and ensure the effective implementation of policies and procedures. The culture of the organisation will impact on the ‘how’ of strategy implementation which must be addressed to achieve successful results by ethical means. This training course enables senior managers to recognise the interaction between governance, strategy, ethics and culture and consider procedural and cultural factors which will determine organisational success.
