Effective directors are the foundation of an effective board. The ICGK Governance Competency Framework promotes effective knowledge, skills, and mindset required by Board Directors/members to perform to a consistently high standard of professional competence in upholding good corporate governance practices.
The framework prescribes the required competencies of a director into 4 quadrants:
- The capacity of an individual director,
- Individual directors with the board,
- The organization and
- The stakeholders.
Each competency has clear standards with prescribed programs to help directors to perform effectively as an individual as well as collectively as a board irrespective of industry.
