Good Governance Course

Know governance is important but are not sure what it means?

Would you like to improve the way your Board works?

Starting a new organisation and want to get governance right from day one?

Our Good Governance course explores best practice and governance in the real-world. By demystifying the subject, we will equip you with a clear understanding of your leadership role and responsibilities. You’ll also receive practical advice and the tools to assess and improve governance.

This course is designed specifically for those new to the Board of a charity, social enterprise or school Governing body. It is also ideal for if you are interested in finding out more about the roles and responsibilities involved in Governance.

Governance is often defined as the systems by which organisations are run. It is about people too: the strategy they develop, how well they work together and how they are protected from harm or liability.

Its implications extend to every aspect of an organisation and how you and your colleagues lead it; from decision making processes, to the planning and execution of day-to-day activities.

Additionally, the course includes a one hour meeting with an advisor, enabling you to directly relate the course content to your organisational context.

What Our Customers Say

It was hugely encouraging to work with an advisor who both understands the values that we aspire to as an organisation, and also offers concrete recommendations, based upon practical experience, to enable us to be more effective as a board and as an organisation.

Excellent sessions, engaging and useful to my job role. Thank you!

A competent and experienced facilitator who was able to get the best from those taking part. It was an easy decision to invite Fresh Management Solutions back to facilitate this next session. Would recommend them very highly to others looking to develop their business.

The ways in which the training made me think about different frameworks for planning, decision-making and monitoring projects will undoubtedly be useful in the future. Getting a professional qualification is a really nice bonus as it shows that the training was leading towards something in the short-term.

Very well delivered with a good amount of discussion and content. Very useful for my area of practice and throughout I could link the content to my work area.
