"The electrical sector is in the midst of profound change. The Directors College sets up directors to meet and tackle this uncertain, but exciting, future at the board table. Successful companies will seize on opportunities through innovation and collaboration, and with an effective risk management process will ensure there is the right balance between the needs of the stakeholders and the changing business landscape.
The final Directors College course module is a mock board scenario which mimics the real life boardroom. Your participation is a unique learning opportunity to put course theory and previous board experience into practice. In this case study it takes good governance, principled behaviours and excellent team interaction to move the agenda forward on difficult decisions. I have had many opportunities in other training settings for ‘role play learning’, however, The Directors College use of this learning technique has been the most effective and impactful.
The Directors College has prepared me very well as a director with a broad base knowledge of good governance and sound judgement to rise to this challenge. I strongly recommend The Directors College to my peers in the energy sector."
