Corporate Governance and Conflict Management

This Corporate Governance and Conflict Management training course helps delegates to plan, formulate and implement modern international corporate governance principles. The topics covered by this programme are blended with case studies drawn from recent international precedents. Workshop projects that simulate real-life experiences will help to reinforce key principles of corporate governance.

This course starts by presenting the new role of board committees and directors’ responsibilities and powers, and continues with best practice in implementation of governance in day-to-day activities. Costs and benefits of best practice governance are put into perspective, to open the discussion about stakeholder relationship management.

This course also explores board conflicts and disagreements, the positive and productive aspects of conflicts and explains how we can benefit from situations which are often perceived as negative and destructive.

You will be introduced to a variety of psychological tactics sometimes used by others as a way to create a conflict. Understanding such tactics and mind games enables you to prepare and respond effectively in order to prevent a conflict. You will also explore emotional skills critical in dealing with other people and learn how to control your emotions as well as those of others and guide the debate towards a win/win outcome.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles and frameworks of corporate governance
