GOVSTRAT STATEMENT OF QUALITY ASSURANCE
WHAT SEPARATES OUR SERVICES FROM THAT OF OTHERS
Learners attending each day of these courses will benefit from the knowledge and expertise of leading international, regional and local corporate secretarial expert practitioners, board governance facilitators and pracademics. Our Learning Facilitators and Consultants have in-depth knowledge and working experiences (in excess 100 years cumulatively) across the Caribbean and on Four (4) Continents while having obtained specialised and world-class education and training. They bring local governance case studies, critical references and case laws to bear while comparing these with “best-in-class” global practices. At GovStrat we do not apply “one size” governance model to fit all. We believe each organisation and leader (in the public or private sector) is unique and requires specialised attention whether through our public/advertised or bespoke learning and consulting interventions. GovStrat has the experience of training more than 4,500 Senior Corporate Secretaries, Assistant C-Secs, Scribes, and in excess of 3,000 Directors and other corporates, internationally since 2003.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
