What makes an effective boardroom? Is it the structure, the people, or the culture that drives decisions? In reality, it is the combination of all three. Directors and boards today face a complex environment shaped by regulatory scrutiny, shareholder expectations, and the constant demand for strategic foresight. Their role goes far beyond compliance — it is about setting direction, safeguarding integrity, and ensuring long-term organisational success.
The Role of the Director and the Board course by LPC Training provides directors, senior leaders, and aspiring board members with a clear understanding of what it takes to be effective at the highest level of corporate governance. Over five days, participants will explore statutory duties under the Companies Act 2006, examine best practices in risk management and stakeholder engagement, and strengthen their ability to balance strategy with accountability.
The programme blends practical insights, case studies, and governance frameworks to equip professionals with the skills to contribute confidently and responsibly at board level.
