Stakeholder understanding and management has become central to high-quality corporate governance, particularly as organizations are increasingly interdependent with a wider range of stakeholders around them. Despite the importance, without board member training, many boards struggle to understand the complex dynamics presented by stakeholders and the strategic implications of stakeholder management.

In Stakeholder Management for Boards, participants will explore new ways of thinking about stakeholder dynamics and gain diverse tools that lead to best-in-class stakeholder management.
