Board rooms are where the most important decisions are taken. These decisions affect everyone from the employees at the company to the investors who own the shares and ultimately the economy. The rooms don’t have to be fancy they are just regular conference rooms large enough to accommodate all of the participants and come with a table large enough to accommodate the board’s documents and other materials needed during the meeting. What they need is a place in which they can have an open, honest discussion that encourages collaboration and best decision-making.
To accomplish this goal, boardroom training is essential for all board members, as well as the business secretary or governance professional who is there to support them. These courses cover the wide range of information needed to be an effective board member. They also cover more behavioral and psychological, cultural and social aspects that help to improve governance and boardroom dynamics.
Boardroom Mastery(tm) is a high-performance simulation for boards that offers participants a unique opportunity to enhance their leadership skills in a safe and challenging environment. Each participant has one-on-one sessions with an organisational psychologist who will explore the individual behavior patterns of each participant and assist them understand how these influence their decision-making. Over three days, the participants are part of a committee which is challenged with realistic situations of governance and crises.
