High-Impact Boards: Value Creation and Growth

Governance infrastructure is the aggregation of governance operating models—the people, processes, and technologies—that executive management has put in place to govern the day-to-day activities of the company, as well as the processes, used to accumulate information and report it to the board and external stakeholders.

For those interested in the topic of “Corporate governance”, these are dynamic times. The events of the past decade have led to the publication of a mountain of articles and research reports focusing on different aspects of governance, such as the role of the board, non-executive directors, behaviour in the boardroom, nomination, executive compensation, strategic oversight, and so on. However, many boards of directors still struggle with several fundamental questions, including:

• What is the role of the board in the company’s corporate governance program?
• Exactly what should we be doing in the critical areas of oversight such as strategy and risk?

Designed to ease this frustration, the Deloitte Academy offers a comprehensive training program with a detailed view of corporate governance and forms the basis for the tools that help boards and executives quickly identify potential opportunities to improve both effectiveness and efficiency.
