Board members and senior leaders of today must manage power dynamics, geopolitical risks, and economic uncertainty. This webinar covers effective stakeholder influence and negotiation amid changing alliances, trade issues, and regulations. With expert and participant insights, plus real-world case studies, this 45-minute introductory session focuses on:

Directors don’t emerge from a pristine vacuum. They have lives with relationships, ownership of assets, and contractual duties which impact their ability to focus solely on the long-term best interests of your company. Any interest can become a conflict of interest — and even perceived conflicts can undermine trust, decision-making, and board confidence if they’re not handled well. Left unmanaged, small issues can quickly escalate into governance risks, reputational damage, or strained relationships around the board table. Proactive and transparent management is essential to maintaining integrity and protecting the organisation’s credibility.

This webinar will give you the practical tools, tips, and templates to successfully manage your board’s conflicts of interest, strengthen transparency, and ensure your governance processes support clarity, fairness, and strong decision-making. You’ll learn how to identify different types of conflicts, how to document and declare them, and how to create a consistent framework that supports both compliance and good culture.
