  • Boardroom dynamics, behaviours, cognitive biases and decision-making 
  • Board processes (including receipt of management information)
  • Executive remuneration and incentives
  • Business ethics: (i) Managing conflicts of interest; (ii) Dealing with ethical dilemmas; (iii) Ethical decision-making strategies
  • Challenges of subsidiary governance

Training can be provided using a combination of presentation, discussion and case work reflecting the specific client context.

Mentoring

Making the transition from management to executive director, from executive director to non-executive director and from non-executive director to board chair can often be more challenging than anticipated. Directors can inherit board dynamic, functioning and/or composition issues that they need to deal with.

Dr Margaret Cullen offers one to one mentoring for directors making this transition and/or dealing with these governance challenges.
