Corporate Governance and Board Leadership

With the current global and local business challenges such as rising cost of doing business, policy uncertainty and unpredictability, liquidity problems, rising unemployment, poverty and Covid 19 pandemic, the need for a re-think of business strategies and effective management of business problems to achieve sustainable profitability, growth and performance cannot be over-emphasized. As the senior management/board is central to the development and execution of robust strategies, it is pertinent that they are constantly abreast with key issues and developments not only in their industry but in both local and global economy. However, while awareness of the key economic/business issues is important, it is not sufficient. Surviving and growing a business in the current turbulent business environment will require not only the awareness of key issues but also a holistic understanding of the complex correlation among the different types of business issues/challenges and the role of senior management/board in ensuring continued growth and superior performance of the firm within an effective corporate governance framework and practice
