LEADING STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY

  • Program Description​​
In collaboration with Executive Education, this executive certificate program equips professionals with the strategic insight and governance expertise needed to lead transformative change.  Blending bu​siness and legal perspectives, the curriculum offers a comprehensive understanding of corporate governance and environment, social and governance (ESG) integration at the board and executive levels. It positions leadership as a process of influence, breaking silos, fostering collaboration, and embedding sustainability alongside financial acumen.

Designed to be industry-agnostic, the program is relevant across sectors including finance, healthcare, technology, energy, and family enterprises. Participants will explore how strong governance frameworks shape relationships among management, boards, shareholders, stakeholders, and society at large.
The program will empower participants to steer organizations strategically, strengthen boardroom effectiveness and decision-making, and lead with clarity in an evolving governance landscape.

  • Facilitators and Session Format
The program is led by OSB’s renowned faculty and subject matter experts, enriched by insights from OSB’s extensive regional and international network of business leaders, legal professionals, and academics. Guest speakers will bring diverse perspectives, bridging theory with real-world corporate governance challenges.

Sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging, combining expert-led discussions, live case studies, role-playing, and peer-to-peer learning. Participants will engage in collaborative workshops and real-time problem-solving exercises, ensuring immediate applicability to their leadership roles. This hands-on approach equips participants with actionable insights and the strategic tools needed to address governance challenges in their organizations.

  • Who Should Attend
This program is designed for:
    • Board members, senior executives, and aspiring directors seeking to enhance their governance expertise.
    • Entrepreneurs and business owners, including those in family businesses, looking to strengthen governance structures and leadership strategies.
    • Senior leaders and professionals aiming to refine their decision-making skills and become more effective corporate leaders.
    • Next-generation executives preparing to take on boardroom and leadership responsibilities.

* While board members and executive leaders hold distinct roles, their responsibilities often intersect.
