Governance is the electricity of strategic sourcing arrangements. It illuminates and drives arrangement. This course is a must-watch for all managers that have an involvement in governance activities.
The course helps the learner to gain a deep understanding of the nature of governance as a decision-making activity. This often causes even experienced managers to re-evaluate the way they view governance and leads them to develop different attitudes to governance and more effective approaches to the way they engage in governance.
The course considers the case of a manager who is asked to review governance and is faced with the challenge of a vicious cycle of issues. It follows her journey meeting the challenges by effectively selling the value and purpose of governance to stakeholders and promoting best practice principles.
The course also goes on to look at what good governance looks like by exploring the key concepts of governance oversight and governance insight.
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 will support the transfer of their learning from the course into the workplace and enable their further development.
