The program further explores why many organizations fail due to inadequate understanding of good corporate governance. Leadership is linked to governance and change management, analyzing how organizations respond to internal and external changes. The program concludes with an in-depth review and discussion on change management and how delegates can effect seamless transitions to strengthen their organizations.
