- Program 01
Boards and the balance of ownership
Foundational: separate the owner-manager conflict from the conflict between controlling and minority shareholders, and work out which governance mechanism answers which one. By the end of this program you can read an ownership structure that splits voting rights from cash flow rights, name the board committee that owns each oversight task, and design minority protections that match the conflict a company actually carries.
- Tell the two agency conflicts apart
- Divide the board's work

- Program 02
Aligning incentives, audit and investor trust
Advanced: examine how executive pay, the audit and information chain, the discipline debt places on free cash flow, and investor activism all work on the same agency problem. By the end of this program you can tell which of the four is failing at a company, design an incentive package that stops buying a short-term number with long-term risk, and build a disclosure and engagement plan that gives investors something verifiable to price.
- Reward performance without buying risk
- Whose decision is free cash flow?
