What will you discover?

Governex is not only concerned with the roles and duties of board directors, it is a comprehensive corporate governance training program. Throughout our six courses you’ll reflect on the way ‘to do’ corporate governance in your organisation – making this course the most practical in the market.

Upon completion of Governex you will be ready to:

• Lead your organisation’s Entrepreneurial efforts (strategy and risk) by focusing on Purpose and Culture;

• Understand the Integrity underpinning you and your board and how these influence your organisation’s governance process;

• Focus your organisation’s Prosperity with the tools to evaluate financial performance; and

• Build your skills to support your board and organisation to have a positive impact on society.

What to anticipate?

By completing the Governex suite of courses, business leaders will develop the requisite skills to not only understand, but influence and implement good governance in their organisation.

Through innovative digital storytelling and the use of interesting and sometimes amusing metaphors, reflection exercises throughout the course will leave you with a take on what needs to be improved and how to improve it.

 No matter what type of organisation you are involved in, we all strive for good governance.

The GGI program, powered by DeakinCo., will provide the knowledge and tools that business owners, executives and directors can immediately put into practice to lead with confidence and the suite of credentials will assess and recognise skills critical to a governance professional. As you progress through the course, you will be required to complete tasks based on the learning in order to collect evidence you can use for your credential submission. You will be asked to provide real life examples and evidence of experience – in both video and written format – to demonstrate your skills.

 The credentials can be earned individually or together as a suite called Governance Practice.
