The Board Leadership Training titled ‘Governance Pays,’ conducted by the Sri Lanka Institute of Directors (SLID), the premier forum for company directors, was a great success with 48 enthusiastic chairmen, directors and CEOs participating. With demand exceeding the available capacity, SLID had to regretfully restrict the numbers.
This program was based on the globally proven training content developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Global Corporate Governance Forum, and was tailored to fit the Sri Lankan environment. It was also endorsed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and was delivered by experienced practicing directors and trained trainers.
There were many interactive sessions with case studies and role plays which proved as per the participant feed-back, to be more conducible and appropriate to the restricted smaller number.
SLID will be conducting a similar course shortly to satisfy demand and SLID would also be available to conducting bespoke training courses for companies who would want their boards of directors to be trained, in house, on board leadership.
The participants’ ability to engage in more effective board discussions and display positive, value adding behaviour to the organisation’s performance was effectively accentuated and strengthened by the training. The participants also had an opportunity to network and discuss common issues with peers and this was identified by them as a very vital aspect of the training.
