In bu siness\, the Board of Directors steers the corporate ship on behalf of the ir members or shareholders. Consequently\, their core function is the sett ing of organizational strategy\, mission\, vision and values while simulta neously ensuring compliance with all relevant corporate governance prescri pts and legislation.\n\nAll shareholders have a vested interest in their r espective institutions and have entrusted the Board of Directors with the responsibility to ensure that the company remains viable and profitable. T he Board of Directors’ function\, therefore\, is to ensure the realizati on of the corporate strategic vision while consistently maintaining oversi ght responsibility.\n\nBoards of directors include functional directors\, who perform operational duties at the company\, and external directors\, who can make impartial judgments. The top structure of all management team s must include a CEO\, a CFO and a COO.\n\nThe Board chair oversees the wo rk of the Board and the organization’s senior management team. Other rol es on the Board include Vice-chair or vice president\, Secretary and Treas urer.  Ad hoc committees are formed by co-opting members of the Board to manage specific tasks. The Board of Directors take a vote on the selection of committee members. Members have the option of accepting or declining n ominations or selection to a committee.\n\nThe average board size is 9 mem bers. Most boards range from 3 to 31 members. The ideal size is seven. To support the Board\, two critical board committees are made up of independe nt members. The CEO is the senior executive while the board chairperson is the head of the board of directors. Boards must meet every quarter to set strategy\, review and monitor the financial reports\, review organization al performance\, evaluate and oversee the executives\, and vote on major d ecisions.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n Ensure that their Boards function op timally while translating the organizational vison to operational reality\ n Learn how to assimilate international prerequisites pertaining to board effectiveness into a contextual framework of localized objectives\n Succ inctly encapsulate board effectiveness in a definitive summary of the obje ctives of key organizational implementation plans\n Study and practice ho w to consistently and constructively deliver on all your organization’s relevant primary objectives pertaining to the course content\n Recognize how to spot and avoid common errors in current organizational strategy per taining to board effectiveness\n Acquire an understanding of the principl es\, procedure and protocol pertaining to Board effectiveness and interact ion for your organization including its potential and impact\n Display kn owledge and understanding of the main tenets of Board procedure\n Identif y and critically evaluate the main fields of ineffectiveness currently pla guing the Board in your organization\n Understand the practical impact of sustaining Board effectiveness in your organization\n Understand the rol es\, functions and responsibilities of various actors\, organizations\, an d institutions in Board effectiveness and interaction in an organization\n \nTraining Methodology\n\n Presentation\n Assignments\n Case Studies &a mp\; Functional Exercises\n Questionnaires\n\nBenefits For Your Organizat ion \n\n Benefit from training your employees on the definition and impor tance of Board Effectiveness in organizations in as far as it bears direct implications and applicability to your organization’s core purpose\, va lues\, mission and vision\n Focus and direct your efforts on Board of Dir ectors protocol and procedure\n Improve synergy in the organization by en suring a nexus between the Board and operational staff\n Achieve improved synergy thus elevating employee morale and increasing productivity\n Cri tically conduct a gap analysis and performance audit of your organizationa l capacity in terms of compliance with the expounded principles enunciated supra\n\nBenefits For You \n\n Improve your performance through higher e fficiency and an improved ability to interact effectively with your operat ional staff by being aware of the implications and extracted sustainable v alue emanating from compliance with Board protocols and procedures\n Comp rehend Principles of Board practice\n Engage in constructive discussions pertaining to the topic thus resulting in improved organizational capacity and overall communication\n\n\n Contextualize and assimilate a practical understanding of the impact of Board effectiveness in your organization\n \n\n Display knowledge and understanding of the main principles pertainin g to the implementation of Board Effectiveness Training\n Understand the roles\, functions and responsibilities of various actors\, organizations\, and institutions interacting with the Board of Directors in an organizati on\n\n\n Identify and critically evaluate the main weaknesses resulting i n Board ineffectiveness within your organization\n\n\n Get an opportunity to work through hands-on role-plays and case studies in detail to gain th e skills needed to ensure that the Board in your organization remains cons istently effective\n\nTarget Audience \n\nThis Improving Board Effectivene ss Training Course would be best suited for:\n\n Professionals – Execut ives\, CEO\, Chairperson of the Board\, Secretaries of Board Committees an d all Board members\n All individuals whose responsibilities include elic iting and sustaining Board effectiveness in an organization\n Executives\ n CEO\n Board members\n Chairperson of the Board\n Secretaries of Boar d Committees\n\nCourse Outline\n\nBACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION TO BOARD EFF ECTIVENESS TRAINING\n\n How does the Board operate?\n Board of Directors ’ functions\n Formulating a Vision\, Mission and Values\n Translating the vision into operational reality\n Compliance with Corporate Governanc e Prescripts and Legislation\n\nSETTING ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY \n\n Entr enching Mutually Consensual Shared Values (Case Study)\n Translating the vision\n Cultivating a Growth Strategy\n Identifying Growth Opportunitie s\n Specific Task Assignment: Are organizational values sustainable?
