Board rooms are where the most important decisions are made. These decisions affect everyone, from the employees at the company to the investors who own the shares and ultimately the economy. These rooms do not have to be extravagant. In reality, they are just regular conference rooms that can hold all participants and include tables large enough to accommodate the board’s documents and other items required during the meeting. What they need is a space to hold an open and honest discussion that encourages cooperation and the most effective decision making.

Training in the boardroom is essential for all board members, and also for the company secretary and governance professional who assist them. These courses cover the wide spectrum of knowledge needed to be an effective board member. They additionally explore behavioural and psychological, cultural and social aspects that help to improve governance and boardroom dynamics.
