The board leadership programme with the theme ‘Building Effective Board Dynamics in a Time of Crisis’ is scheduled to hold on the 23rd and 24th of July, 2020.
According to experts, crisis threatens the viability of an organisation and erodes organisational value and reputation if not effectively mitigated.
At such times, board members who are at the front line must play critical roles in providing high-level strategic oversights and ensuring the organisation’s viability, operational resilience, and financial solvency, they say.
Armed with a faculty of world-class executives and governance experts, it promises to be two days of intense learning, unlearning, and knowledge building on how board executives can strengthen governance, relationships, collaboration, culture, and more, which are imperatives for sustainable organisations.
The programme will have an experience sharing session where well-acclaimed successful board directors will share practical insights on how boards can navigate through the crisis and build sustainable organisations.
The line-up of renowned faculty for this programme include; Aishah Ahmad, deputy governor- financial system stability, Central Bank of Nigeria; Edward Olowo-Okere, global director governance -global practice at World Bank Group; Prof Kingsley Moghalu, former deputy governor, CBN; Ibukun Awosika, board chairman, First Bank of Nigeria and Bola Adesola, senior vice chairman, Standard Bank Group among others.
