Directors’ Consortium
Learn leading-edge strategies, frameworks, and best practices for making complex and crucial board decisions in uncertain times.
You will benefit from an academic partnership between Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford Law School — and a uniquely interactive learning experience.
Big data, shareholder activism, social media, financial literacy, liability risk: The list of issues and responsibilities for board members is ever-increasing and ever-changing. Drawing on cutting-edge research, current governance issues, emerging topics, and practical knowledge, Directors’ Consortium goes beyond compliance to explore how directors can best represent shareholders and other stakeholders.
You’ll learn about financial reporting, compensation, fiduciary duties, CEO succession, and more. You’ll develop a greater understanding of a board’s oversight and advisory roles. And you’ll examine real-world scenarios and formulate action plans with a set of people who confront similar problems.
