Course Information

About this course:

Governance is often seen as a rigid framework of policies, regulations, and oversight, but in reality, it is the backbone of an organisation’s success. When done right, governance becomes a living, breathing part of the organization—driving ethical leadership, strategic decision-making, and long-term sustainability.


This course, presented by Juanita Vorster, a certified director and ethics officer, takes governance beyond compliance and into the realm of practical implementation. Drawing from real-world experience advising boards and leadership teams, Juanita explores how organisations can bridge the gap between governance theory and everyday operations. Through engaging insights and practical strategies, participants will learn how to bring governance to life in their own organisations, ensuring it is embedded in culture, decision-making, and accountability structures.
