Leadership & Governance Case Studies
Overview
This workshop takes a case-study approach to leadership and governance under the Standards for RTOs 2025. Working through real (de-identified) scenarios from across the sector, we examine how strong governance prevented compliance breaches, how weak governance contributed to audit failures, and how Governing Persons can construct the Frameworks that turn governance from a quarterly meeting into the operating system of a high-performing RTO.
