Globalisation has created opportunities for organisations who want to expand their offerings into new markets and compete on the international stage.

However when a company competes globally there are many practical, governance and strategic challenges which the board and executive team need to address. These challenges will be examined by – the management consultant on why go global, an executive who has built a global business from Australia and a company director with Australian global board experience on the governance and other issues you as directors need to consider.
