This course begins by considering why a well-designed governance structure is important, and what a successful governance structure delivers. It goes on to look at a best practice model – which the learner can use as the basis for effective governance structure design.
The course explores governance meeting membership and agendas before going on to consider the key processes that need to be set-up for governance to work successfully.
Finally, learners will find out how to use the technique of segmentation to ensure governance resources are used and focused effectively.
There is a downloadable Study Guide containing post course test questions to check the learner has picked up key information. The Study Guide also contains a set of work-based learning questions that support the transfer of learning from the module into the workplace and enable further development.
