This one-dayintensive program teaches participants the key legal and corporate governance knowledge they need to responsibly serve on, report to, or analyze boards of Japanese companies, both public and private. The course consists of short lectures interspersed with ample time for interactive discussion and questions-and-answers about real-life situations that occur on boards, and how to handle them. The course is usually good fun for everybody, since we all learn from each others' experiences, as well as from BDTI. The program will cover topics such as:

Last Friday (May 14th) the Japanese Cabinet approved its much-awaited Growth Strategy, which included mention of corporate governance as part of the strategy (see the proposals below), but did not include the proposals the LDP made in its May 10th Interim Report to require public companies to disclose their policies with respect to training for all new and continuing directors.

The Japan HR Society (JHRS)'s magazine, The HR Agenda Magazine, published an interview with our Representative Director, Nicholas Benes about BDTI and why globalization means that Japanese companieswill have to increase (and standardize) training ofdirectors, and training for managers aboutgovernance and compliance matters.

You cannot achieve the strategic benefits of being a true global company unless you provide regular off-site learning opportunities for your Japanese staff and your foreign staff to mix.

Here in the UK, NGO's (Non Government Organisations) are definitely proving to be an effective way for the Government to lend cost-effective support to worthy Programmes that are just getting started, such as BDTI. In the form of Charitable Trusts, Community Interest Companies and the like, they actively fulfill roles that in the past have been expensive or impossible for government departments to fulfill. They attract private-sector operators and creative individuals who get the job done at a small fraction of the cost of a government department, – and with the right skills.

Thank you very much for your interest in symposium, Practical Methods for Effective Board Management, As Used by Successful Companies, with lead speaker Professor Martin Hilb.
