The Board Game

The Board Game is a corporate governance simulation that is fully integrated with actual board meetings. Directors are presented with a real-world corporate governance case study, based on a case that ended up in a court of law.

 

The case study appears on the board agenda and discussion at the meeting is facilitated by the chairman (hence no need for an external facilitator to be present). The facts of the case are presented in such a way that the board is forced to have a debate and make a decision as if it were a standard agenda item.

Integrated and sustainability reporting

Assistance with the corporate reporting processes based on the International Framework (International Integrated Reporting Council) and the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative.

The board evaluation methodology takes cognisance of local and global developments in corporate governance, and aims to improve board performance by focusing on issues that are material to both the company and the industry. With reference to South African companies, the service is fully aligned with the King IV Code on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2016, which requires the following: “The board should ensure that the evaluation of its own performance and that of its committees, its chair and its individual members, support continued improvement in its performance and effectiveness”.

In terms of governance, assistance is provided to boards and appropriate board committees (Social and Ethics Committees in South Africa). In terms of management, clients are guided to develop appropriate interventions based on the following dimensions: commitment, measurement, engagement, guidance, support, compliance and reporting.

Assistance based on a proprietary conceptual framework that aims to assist corporations to conceptualise, develop and implement effective corporate responsibility programmes.
