Course Overview

Most failures in financial disclosure and transparency trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on disclosure and transparency far more accurately than what their leaders announce. The course sets out a working method for the wider organisational leadership agenda that participants can apply the week they return. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better financial disclosure and transparency is rarely technical. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this part of organisational leadership in their own setting. Moving disclosure and transparency from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on financial disclosure and transparency are used deliberately. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on disclosure and transparency and revise it on evidence. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the wider organisational leadership agenda ready to put in front of a decision maker.
