Course overview
Board and committee papers are the cornerstone of decision making for external directors. Unlike executive directors, external directors by their nature rely on others (normally management) to provide them with information needed to make decisions relating to the business of the organisation. It is unquestionable that well researched and well prepared papers will result in better quality (and potentially faster) decision making both at board and committee level thus providing potentially significant cost benefits to those involved.
