Overview
Organisations form an integral part of the society in which they operate. Through their value and supply chains, as well as their stakeholder relationships, organisations can affect large numbers of people. What used to be regarded as ethical by society and business has shifted and continues to change. Managing these evolving expectations can only be achieved through good governance processes embedded within an ethical culture. Creating and managing an ethical culture for sustainable value creation underpins the King IV Code of Corporate Governance in South Africa specifically. It is therefore essential for individuals in organisations to contribute effectively to sound corporate governance, within their sphere of influence, in contemporary society. This course will enable individuals to contribute to building an ethical culture and manage risk in an organisation.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
