How Boards Operate Globally: Roles, Structures and Cross-Border Dynamics
Description
Boards operating across multiple jurisdictions must navigate differing governance models, cultural expectations, and structural arrangements. This session explores how global boards are constituted and how roles, responsibilities, and committee structures vary in practice. It highlights the complexities of cross-border decision-making, communication flows, and stakeholder management, equipping directors with practical insights to operate effectively within international boardrooms and lead confidently in diverse regulatory and cultural environments.
This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and forms part of the Directors Foundation Programme, delivered by Chris Usher.
