An effective board results from healthy board dynamics. Ensuring an appropriate mix of personalities and expertise, facilitated by a culture of mutual respect, trust and constructive dissent, is important. This module uses management concepts and the integral boardroom model to explore boardroom behaviours and how directors can work more effectively in the best interests of the company. It highlights the critical role and attributes of an effective chairperson, and covers the kind of relationship that an effective board should have with management.

LEDM3 – Board Performance
This module explores into how boards can effectively balance their responsibilities to drive long-term value creation for the company. It provides insights into critical governance areas, including the board’s “tri-lemma” – balancing conformance, performance and transformation – while shaping strategic vision, fostering innovation and ensuring effective execution. Building on these foundations, the module also delves into how evolving business models, organisational capabilities and company culture influence board effectiveness, alongside key considerations in financial strategy and mergers and acquisitions.

Stakeholder engagement is fundamental to good corporate governance. This module covers the board’s duties in relation to a broad range of stakeholders (beyond just shareholders) of the enterprise. It briefly addresses the regulatory requirements for
sustainability reporting and stakeholder engagement in the context of the sustainability agenda, which is covered in greater depth in the LEDM9 module. Additionally, the module examines the duties and responsibilities of the board towards shareholders, including corporate reporting, general meetings, investor and media relations, and crisis management.

LEDM9 – Environmental, Social and Governance Essentials
A climate reporting and assurance roadmap has been established by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and Singapore Exchange (SGX) based on international reporting standards. Listed entities are now subject to compliance requirements as stated in the amendments to the SGX Listing Rules on climate disclosures. This module will delve into the board’s role and director’s responsibilities in sustainability governance. By highlighting the Sustainability Reporting Advisory Committee (SRAC) recommendations and SGX Listing Rules on sustainability reporting, this session provides a foundation for board directors to drive sustainability compliance and integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their business strategy.
