How good is your governance?

Training for the elected members of the board

 

How Good is Your Governance?

Governance is described as 'the management of management' or 'the system by which organisations are directed and controlled'.

It is recognised that ?Good governance leads to good management, good performance, good stewardship of public money, good public engagement and, ultimately, good outcomes?.

This course therefore focuses on knowledge and understanding of the six elements of the Good Governance Standard for Public Service which has become the benchmark standard and ensures a comprehensive approach to effective governance.

What will I gain from this course?

This one day training course will teach delegates how to function effectively as a Board, develop the capacity and capability of the Board and Board Members and set an action plan for improvement.
