Company-specific training is typically conducted as a one-day session, but if necessary it can be shorter (2-7 hours) or longer (2 days or multiple days).
TRAINING FOR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS OF BOARDS
The organizational meeting of the board lays the foundation for effective board work and also serves as an orientation meeting for new board members.
At the same time, it creates rules of engagement for board work and dialogue in the governance chain formed by owners, the general meeting, the board and management.
Members should also be informed about how the company’s internal control system is expected to operate and how risks are monitored.
A well-planned organizational meeting significantly improves the board’s chances of success in its work. When board members understand what is expected of them, their responsibilities and obligations, and how board work should be carried out in their organization, common practices can be established to enhance board work specifically in the best interest of the company.
TRAINING LINKED TO BOARD ASSESSMENTS
Training conducted after a board assessment focuses specifically on the development areas identified in the assessment.
In addition, the training covers various best practices in board work that can be used to develop suitable operating methods for the specific board.
This training helps to ensure that all board members have a clear understanding of the principles of operation and a shared situation assessment regarding specific strategic themes.
Before the training, a Boardman board assessment must be conducted. The board assessment brings structure to the board’s operations and helps to identify possible discussion topics and development needs.
