Board Programmes
GGS provided board development events can cover a pre-designed number of governance-related topics (see below), or the client can define their own programme content. We can also research and incorporate new topics to address specific board development or interest areas. These events can be delivered as either face-to-face events or virtually and are typically 3 hours duration.
