The why and how of adopting solid corporate governance guidelines and practices has become a very important business topic, as shareholders and other stakeholders demand increased accountability, transparency and the ability to deliver sound corporate strategies.
On the 31st May, Rodney Turner, Professor of Project Management at the Lille Graduate School of Management will give a free lecture titled, Corporate Governance in Project Based Organisations. The lecture will be held at BUiD's Knowledge Village Campus (Building 17) at 6pm.
Commenting on the upcoming lecture Professor Turner said, "During the lecture I will present a working definition of project governance and how companies can apply it within the organization, as a project sponsor or for a project. Through my lecture I will demonstrate how corporate governance can significantly improve an organisation's efficiency, effectiveness and agility at these three levels."
Mr. Turner, a world renowned expert and lecturer in the field of Project Management, is also the Chief Executive of EuroProjex: the European Centre for Project Excellence, a network of trainers and consultants in project management. He is author of several key industry books including The International Journal of Project Management.
