Board Meeting Facilitator and Retreats

Sometimes the only way is to really get in and work out what needs to happen and then get away with a facilitator. This can be incredibly powerful and effective. It is simply for refocusing, brainstorming or setting the strategic plan or vision, then havng someone who has facilitated before achieving great results.

If maybe a little help in a couple of issues is all you need at a meeting, then Global Training can help you there too.

Developing with the organisation through workshop style, policies and procedures that determine how the board will operate. Many funding bodies are now requiring these written policies before you can obtain funding.

Training and development for the board – to ensure they are adequately skilled and prepared to carry out their roles and responsibilities
Conflicts of interest – making sure no one takes personal advantage of their position

Constitution Review

The most important instrument used in any given organisation, but so often ignored, abused or contrived. This important document needs a full review every 5 years to ensure it is up-to-date with the fast pace of our world, or it can end up fighting everything your organisation is set up for. Global Training can assist in ensuring this powerful tool will safeguard and help facilitate the hard work of the organisation.

Inducting New Board Members

7 out of 10 board members simply do not know or understand their powers, roles and responsibilities. This can cause an enormous amount of conflict, confrontation, frustration and even organisational failure. Don’t let this happen! Ensure your board fully understand their positions with induction and training through Global Training Institute.

Global Training Institute can help in many areas regarding setting up your budget and the ongoing review that is necessary.

Consulting

Sometimes having someone come in and simply help you catch up on all the areas you are behind in can make a big difference. Whatever your department needs, Global Training Institute can usually design a consulting program for you. They can also help you with policies, procedures or Department Standards, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best.
