At the Institute, we’re committed to helping our members stay ahead as governance practice and technology continue to evolve. We take great pride in the strong partnerships we forge with other organisations to achieve that end, and one such partnership is with global governance, risk and compliance solutions provider, Diligent.
We are pleased to introduce a new, CGIUKI‑endorsed training and accreditation programme - available free to members. Developed by Diligent, this bespoke training programme for its Entities product is designed specifically for our members - from student to graduate to affiliate.
Diligent Entities is an entity and subsidiary management solution that helps governance professionals create a single source of truth, gain visibility across group structures, and surface insights with confidence.
The programme includes seven live, expert‑led online sessions, delivered across three progressive levels - Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced - allowing you to build capability step-by-step.
There are no exams - just practical, hands‑on learning - and you’ll gain confidence applying Entities’ AI agents to real‑world governance workflows.
Neil Newman, Commercial Director at CGIUKI, said: "We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering on this programme and to see the level of interest it has generated.
The response underlines something we hear consistently from our members that governance professionals are eager to build practical technology and AI-enabled skills that directly support better decision-making, stronger compliance, and more strategic leadership.
At The Chartered Governance Institute, we’re committed to supporting the profession as it evolves and not just through guidance, but through credible, accessible learning pathways that equip company secretaries and governance professionals.
This initiative represents exactly that kind of investment in the future of governance. We’re excited to see the impact it will have and look forward to welcoming future cohorts as the programme continues to grow."
