Monday BLC Courses: 
926.1 Navigating in the Era of Uncertainty

Overview:

We live in an era defined by uncertainty, where change is constant, and disruptions can emerge from almost any direction. Global economic volatility, shifting energy markets, rapid technological advances, political upheaval, geopolitical tensions, climate-related events, and evolving workforce dynamics all converge to create a future that is harder than ever to predict. This course focuses on tools and strategies to help boards think differently, govern more effectively and change how they develop and pursue strategy. 

 

 

986.1 Oversight of the Broadband Business

 

Overview:

It is designed to provide directors with the principles and tools to strengthen their processes for overseeing the cooperative's broadband enterprise.
