While I have been a member of and supported a number of boards in my career, I have never done this from the position of legal knowledge or best practice. Good and effective governance is so fundamental for organisational success as well as for regulatory compliance. The course was a great opportunity to strengthen my knowledge, spend some time with others from different industries and reflect on operating within the context of China.

The IoD International Role of Director course is a great stepping stone component into the other three courses to become a chartered director which I now aim to pursue too.
