This lesson was delivered by David Duffy, founder & CEO of The Corporate Governance Institute. Directors face relentless challenges in our rapidly changing world, especially as COVID starts to become the norm. They are caught between the varying stakeholder demands of the shareholder, community, customers, and unprecedented regulatory demand. Ensuring a solid corporate governance foundation, can directly impact on the effectiveness of the board.

These same challenges are creating opportunities for directors and boards to create an outstanding framework and suite of building blocks for excellent governance.

In this webinar, the five building blocks of great corporate governance that are highlighted include:

Culture and values
Structures
People
Policies
