Learn how to successfully govern a co-operative
To be successful, co-operative shareholders must be able to answer the basic governance question for their business: who gets to decide what?
This course examines how to do just that. In the course, we look at three key ideas:
- Ensuring people work well together
- Creating a successful view of the future
- Building legitimacy
Using real world cases, we discuss how these ideas translate into practical features, such as board structure and shareholder or member engagement. Through it all, we explore how to get the right people making the right decisions.
