Executive Training Programmes

In our experience of working with various companies we have found that many directors occupy their positions without having had any formal training. 

• Our full day, or 2 half days, training programme will ensure that governing body members understand their roles and responsibilities as well as their fiduciary duties and liabilities.
• We also look at governance and ethics in the programme based on the King V and                               ISO 37000 frameworks.
• We have managed to simplify the part of the Companies Act that applies to the above topics.
• Our presenter ( a certified Director with the Institute), also uses a number of case studies and his extensive experience to make the entire programme enjoyable.
• This program is often combined with our other programmes to provide 2 days of insightful training.

This program is suitable for existing directors and aspiring directors, providing the foundation required to perform their duties.

There is currently no requirement for companies in South Africa to conduct Board evaluations. It is however recommended that an evaluation be performed at least every 2 years.

Board and board member evaluation may be conducted by an external party or may be conducted internally. Their are pro's and cons of doing either. 

We would recommend that your first evaluation be done by an external party as part of the learning process. Thereafter you can conduct your own board evaluations and only bring in an outside party every 2 or 3 years. This will probably save some costs, but will not be independent and some board members may not be comfortable or divulge concerns they may have.
